"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Files#fail
    sets the Content-Length response header using String#size instead of String#bytesize. When the response
    body contains multibyte UTF-8 characters, the declared Content-Length is smaller than the number of bytes
    actually sent on the wire. Because Rack::Files reflects the requested path in 404 responses, an attacker
    can trigger this mismatch by requesting a non-existent path containing percent-encoded UTF-8 characters.
    This results in incorrect HTTP response framing and may cause response desynchronization in deployments
    that rely on the incorrect Content-Length value. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21,
    and 3.2.6. (CVE-2026-34831)

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