Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an XSS vulnerability in the ruby-rack web-server library.

A malicious request could impact the HTTP/HTTPS scheme being returned to the underlying application.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in ruby-rack version 1.5.2-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-rack packages.
