For escape-heavy quoted values, this causes super-linear processing. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted multipart/form-data request containing many parts with long backslash-escaped parameter values to trigger excessive CPU usage during multipart parsing. This results in a denial of service condition in Rack applications that accept multipart form data. This issue has been patched in versions 3.1.21 and 3.2.6.","status":"published","published":"2026-04-02T18:16:00Z","modified":"2026-11-04T03:42:04.78207151Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","level":"high"},{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","level":"high"}],"updated_at":"2026-11-04T03:56:18.279609Z"},{"id":"MGASA-2026-0226","title":"Updated ruby-rack packages fix security vulnerabilities","description":"CVE-2026-26961 Greedy multipart boundary parsing can cause parser\ndifferentials and WAF bypass. `Forwarded` header semicolon injection\nenables `Host` and `Scheme` spoofing.\nCVE-2026-34230 Quadratic complexity in\n`Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding` via wildcard `Accept-Encoding`\nheader.\nCVE-2026-34763 Root directory disclosure via unescaped regex\ninterpolation in `Rack::Directory`.\nCVE-2026-34785 `Rack::Static` prefix matching can expose unintended\nfiles under the static root.\nCVE-2026-34786 `Rack::Static` `header_rules` bypass via URL-encoded path\nmismatch.\nCVE-2026-34826 Multipart byte range processing allows denial of service\nvia excessive overlapping ranges.\nCVE-2026-34827 Multipart header parsing allows denial of service via\nescape-heavy quoted parameters.\nCVE-2026-34829 Multipart parsing without `Content-Length` header allows\nunbounded chunked file uploads.\nCVE-2026-34830 `Rack::Sendfile` header-based `X-Accel-Mapping` regex\ninjection enables unauthorized `X-Accel-Redirect`.\nCVE-2026-34831 `Content-Length` mismatch in `Rack::Files` error\nresponses.\nCVE-2026-34835 `Rack::Request` accepts invalid Host characters, enabling\nhost allowlist bypass.\n","status":"published","published":"2026-06-18T21:28:22Z","modified":"2026-06-18T21:30:04.563755676Z","updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:49:43.795591Z"},{"id":"USN-8989-1","title":"ruby-rack vulnerabilities","description":"Andrew Lacambra discovered that Rack did not properly parse certain regular\nexpressions.
