Fixed In Version: puma 6.4.2, puma 5.6.8
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Puma rubygem. Versions prior 6.4.2 are susceptible to a HTTP smuggling attack when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies on HTTP messages, which don't limit the size of the message chunk extensions. This issue may lead to uncontrolled resource consumption, possibly resulting in a denial of service of the attacked server.

Description Marco Benatto 2024-01-08 22:09:40 UTC 
Puma is a web server for Ruby/Rack applications built for parallelism. Prior to version 6.4.2, puma exhibited incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies in a way that allowed HTTP request smuggling. Fixed versions limits the size of chunk extensions. Without this limit, an attacker could cause unbounded resource (CPU, network bandwidth) consumption. This vulnerability has been fixed in versions 6.4.2 and 5.6.8.
