What is CVE-2022-23634?

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.

Affected Version(s)

puma >= 5.0.0, < 5.6.2 < 5.0.0, 5.6.2

puma < 4.3.11 < 4.3.11
