Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Content-Type Parsing

medium severity CVE-2024-25126
medium severity CVE-2024-25126
Patched versions: ~> 2.2.8, >= 2.2.8.1, >= 3.0.9.1
Unaffected versions: < 0.4

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the content type parsing component of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-25126.

Versions Affected: >= 0.4 Not affected: < 0.4 Fixed Versions: 3.0.9.1, 2.2.8.1

Impact

Carefully crafted content type headers can cause Rack’s media type parser to take much longer than expected, leading to a possible denial of service vulnerability.

Impacted code will use Rack’s media type parser to parse content type headers. This code will look like below:

request.media_type

## OR
request.media_type_params

## OR
Rack::MediaType.type(content_type)

Some frameworks (including Rails) call this code internally, so upgrading is recommended!

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Possible Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack Header Parsing

low severity CVE-2024-26146
low severity CVE-2024-26146
Patched versions: ~> 2.0.9, >= 2.0.9.4, ~> 2.1.4, >= 2.1.4.4, ~> 2.2.8, >= 2.2.8.1, >= 3.0.9.1

There is a possible denial of service vulnerability in the header parsing routines in Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26146.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 2.0.9.4, 2.1.4.4, 2.2.8.1, 3.0.9.1

Impact

Carefully crafted headers can cause header parsing in Rack to take longer than expected resulting in a possible denial of service issue. Accept and Forwarded headers are impacted.

Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rack applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected.

Possible DoS Vulnerability with Range Header in Rack

low severity CVE-2024-26141
low severity CVE-2024-26141
Patched versions: ~> 2.2.8, >= 2.2.8.1, >= 3.0.9.1
Unaffected versions: < 1.3.0

There is a possible DoS vulnerability relating to the Range request header in Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26141.

Versions Affected: >= 1.3.0. Not affected: < 1.3.0 Fixed Versions: 3.0.9.1, 2.2.8.1

Impact

Carefully crafted Range headers can cause a server to respond with an unexpectedly large response. Responding with such large responses could lead to a denial of service issue.

Vulnerable applications will use the Rack::File middleware or the Rack::Utils.byte_ranges methods (this includes Rails applications).

Releases

The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.

Workarounds

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.

Possible Denial of Service Vulnerability in Rack’s header parsing

low severity CVE-2023-27539
low severity CVE-2023-27539
Patched versions: ~> 2.0, >= 2.2.6.4, >= 3.0.6.1

There is a denial of service vulnerability in the header parsing component of Rack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-27539.

Versions Affected: >= 2.0.0 Not affected: None. Fixed Versions: 2.2.6.4, 3.0.6.1

Impact

Carefully crafted input can cause header parsing in Rack to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. Any applications that parse headers using Rack (virtually all Rails applications) are impacted.

Workarounds

Setting Regexp.timeout in Ruby 3.2 is a possible workaround.
