How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard gitlab-cng-17.4 to version 17.4.4-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab-cng-17.4 package and not the gitlab-cng-17.4 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. In affected versions clients could clobber values set by intermediate proxies (such as X-Forwarded-For) by providing a underscore version of the same header (X-Forwarded_For). Any users relying on proxy set variables is affected. v6.4.3/v5.6.9 now discards any headers using underscores if the non-underscore version also exists. Effectively, allowing the proxy defined headers to always win. Users are advised to upgrade. Nginx has a underscores_in_headers configuration variable to discard these headers at the proxy level as a mitigation. Any users that are implicitly trusting the proxy defined headers for security should immediately cease doing so until upgraded to the fixed versions.
