NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby2.5-rubygem-puma package and not the ruby2.5-rubygem-puma package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
