Overview
puma is a simple, fast, threaded, and highly concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. Puma is intended for use in both development and production environments. It's great for highly concurrent Ruby implementations such as Rubinius and JRuby as well as as providing process worker support to support CRuby well.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies and zero-length Content-Length headers in a way that allowed the exploitation of this vulnerability. The severity of this issue is highly dependent on the nature of the website using the library. This could be caused by incorrect parsing of trailing fields in chunked transfer encoding bodies or blank/zero-length Content-Length headers.
