    Package        : puma
    Version        : 5.6.5-3+deb12u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-47736 CVE-2026-47737

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Puma, a simple, fast, threaded,
    and highly concurrent server for Ruby/Rack applications

    CVE-2026-47736

        when PROXY protocol v1 support is enabled, Puma reads incoming
        bytes into an internal buffer while waiting for CRLF to determine
        whether a PROXY v1 line is present, allowing an attacker that
        continuously sends bytes without CRLF to cause unbounded
        in-process memory growth and additional CPU cost from repeatedly
        scanning the growing buffer.

    CVE-2026-47737

        Puma is vulnerable to source IP spoofing when set_remote_address
        proxy_protocol: :v1 is enabled and persistent connections are used
        because Puma incorrectly re-parses PROXY protocol headers after
        each keep-alive request on the same connection, allowing an
        attacker to inject a second PROXY header and overwrite
        REMOTE_ADDR.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    5.6.5-3+deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your puma packages.
