  - Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6,
    Rack::Multipart::Parser only wraps the request body in a BoundedIO when CONTENT_LENGTH is present. When a
    multipart/form-data request is sent without a Content-Length header, such as with HTTP chunked transfer
    encoding, multipart parsing continues until end-of-stream with no total size limit. For file parts, the
    uploaded body is written directly to a temporary file on disk rather than being constrained by the
    buffered in-memory upload limit. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore stream an arbitrarily large
    multipart file upload and consume unbounded disk space. This results in a denial of service condition for
    Rack applications that accept multipart form data. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21,
    and 3.2.6. (CVE-2026-34829)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
