The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1515-1 advisory.
Puma is a concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. The fix for CVE-2019-16770 was incomplete. The original fix only protected existing connections that had already been accepted from having their requests starved by greedy persistent-connections saturating all threads in the same process.
However, new connections may still be starved by greedy persistent-connections saturating all threads in all processes in the cluster. A puma
server which received more concurrent keep-alive
connections than the server had threads in its threadpool would service only a subset of connections, denying service to the unserved connections. This problem has been fixed in puma
4.3.8 and 5.3.1. Setting queue_requests false
also fixes the issue. This is not advised when using puma
without a reverse proxy, such as nginx
or apache
, because you will open yourself to slow client attacks (e.g. slowloris). The fix is very small and a git patch is available for those using unsupported versions of Puma. (CVE-2021-29509)
Puma is a HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. Prior to versions 5.5.1 and 4.3.9, using puma
with a proxy which forwards HTTP header values which contain the LF character could allow HTTP request smugggling. A client could smuggle a request through a proxy, causing the proxy to send a response back to another unknown client. The only proxy which has this behavior, as far as the Puma team is aware of, is Apache Traffic Server. If the proxy uses persistent connections and the client adds another request in via HTTP pipelining, the proxy may mistake it as the first request’s body. Puma, however, would see it as two requests, and when processing the second request, send back a response that the proxy does not expect. If the proxy has reused the persistent connection to Puma to send another request for a different client, the second response from the first client will be sent to the second client. This vulnerability was patched in Puma 5.5.1 and 4.3.9. As a workaround, do not use Apache Traffic Server with puma
. (CVE-2021-41136)
Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. Prior to puma
version 5.6.2
, puma
may not always call close
on the response body. Rails, prior to version 7.0.2.2
, depended on the response body being closed in order for its CurrentAttributes
implementation to work correctly. The combination of these two behaviors (Puma not closing the body + Rails’ Executor implementation) causes information leakage. This problem is fixed in Puma versions 5.6.2 and 4.3.11. This problem is fixed in Rails versions 7.02.2, 6.1.4.6, 6.0.4.6, and 5.2.6.2. Upgrading to a patched Rails or Puma version fixes the vulnerability. (CVE-2022-23634)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Puma is a concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. The fix for CVE-2019-16770 was

having their requests starved by greedy persistent-connections saturating all threads in the same process.
However, new connections may still be starved by greedy persistent-connections saturating all threads in
all processes in the cluster. A `puma` server which received more concurrent `keep-alive` connections than
the server had threads in its threadpool would service only a subset of connections, denying service to
the unserved connections. This problem has been fixed in `puma` 4.3.8 and 5.3.1. Setting `queue_requests
false` also fixes the issue. This is not advised when using `puma` without a reverse proxy, such as
`nginx` or `apache`, because you will open yourself to slow client attacks (e.g. slowloris). The fix is
