There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 rubygem-puma-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rubygem-puma-doc package and not the rubygem-puma-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Puma before versions 3.12.2 and 4.3.1, a poorly-behaved client could use keepalive requests to monopolize Puma's reactor and create a denial of service attack. If more keepalive connections to Puma are opened than there are threads available, additional connections will wait permanently if the attacker sends requests frequently enough. This vulnerability is patched in Puma 4.3.1 and 3.12.2.
