It was discovered that there was an XSS vulnerability in the ruby-rack web-server library.

A malicious request could impact the HTTP/HTTPS scheme being returned to the underlying application.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this issue has been fixed in ruby-rack version 1.5.2-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-rack packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
