The remote Ubuntu 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6689-1 advisory.
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Carefully crafted Range headers can cause a server to respond with an unexpectedly large response. Responding with such large responses could lead to a denial of service issue. Vulnerable applications will use the Rack::File
middleware or the Rack::Utils.byte_ranges
methods (this includes Rails applications). The vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.9.1 and 2.2.8.1. (CVE-2024-26141)
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Carefully crafted headers can cause header parsing in Rack to take longer than expected resulting in a possible denial of service issue. Accept and Forwarded headers are impacted. Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rack applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.9.4, 2.1.4.4, 2.2.8.1, and 3.0.9.1. (CVE-2024-26146)
The Ruby on Rails advisory describes this vulnerability as follows: (CVE-2023-27539)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
