Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Files#fail sets the Content-Length response header using String#size instead of String#bytesize. When the response body contains multibyte UTF-8 characters, the declared Content-Length is smaller than the number of bytes actually sent on the wire. Because Rack::Files reflects the requested path in 404 responses, an attacker can trigger this mismatch by requesting a non-existent path containing percent-encoded UTF-8 characters. This results in incorrect HTTP response framing and may cause response desynchronization in deployments that rely on the incorrect Content-Length value. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 4.8, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.2, "impactScore": 2.5}, {"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N", "baseScore": 6.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "impactScore": 2.5}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-130"}, {"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-135"}]}], "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:rack:rack:*:*:*:*:*:ruby:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "2.2.23", "matchCriteriaId": "AD5DE7DE-3A8B-4064-A7D5-1E117A101E81"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:rack:rack:*:*:*:*:*:ruby:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.0.0", "versionEndExcluding": "3.1.21", "matchCriteriaId": "6948AAA6-873D-46BA-AA22-4C81138128E1"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:rack:rack:*:*:*:*:*:ruby:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.2.0", "versionEndExcluding": "3.2.6", "matchCriteriaId": "3FB592AD-E826-49BE-AC6D-E5F55FDCC96E"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://github.com/rack/rack/security/advisories/GHSA-q2ww-5357-x388", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"]}]}}
