How to fix?

Upgrade rack to version 3.2.6 or higher.

Overview

rack is a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection in the Rack::Multipart::Parser component. An attacker can inject arbitrary HTTP headers or perform response splitting by crafting multipart requests with obs-fold sequences in headers, which are improperly unfolded and preserved in parsed parameter values.
