AI-suggested

Upgrade Ruby Rack to version 2.2.25, 3.1.23, or 3.2.8 or later where this issue is fixed. No other mitigations are specified or required.

Description

A vulnerability in Ruby Rack prior to versions 2.2.25, 3.1.23, and 3.2.8 allows the Rack::Multipart::Parser to retain parsed data in its internal buffer improperly. This can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker sending a specially crafted multipart request to cause the buffer to grow uncontrollably, leading to memory exhaustion of the worker process. The issue affects applications that parse multipart requests and is fixed in the specified versions.
