CVE-2022-23634

The combination of these two behaviors (Puma not closing the body + Rails' Executor implementation) causes information leakage.

MEDIUM 5.9EPSS 2.11%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

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.
