Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding processes Accept-Encoding values with quadratic time complexity when the header contains many wildcard (*) entries. Because this method is used by Rack::Deflater to choose a response encoding, an unauthenticated attacker can send a single request with a crafted Accept-Encoding header and cause disproportionate CPU consumption on the compression middleware path. This results in a denial of service condition for applications using Rack::Deflater. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21640-1 advisory.

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in ruby-rack, a modular Ruby     webserver interface

    CVE-2026-26961

        Rack::Multipart::Parser extracts the boundary parameter from         multipart/form-data using a greedy regular expression. When a         Content-Type header contains multiple boundary parameters, Rack         selects the last one rather than the first. In deployments where         an upstream proxy, WAF, or intermediary interprets the first         boundary parameter, this mismatch can allow an attacker to smuggle         multipart content past upstream inspection and have Rack parse a         different body structure than the intermediary validated.

    CVE-2026-34230

        Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding processes Accept-Encoding values         with quadratic time complexity when the header contains many         wildcard (*) entries. Because this method is used by         Rack::Deflater to choose a response encoding, an unauthenticated         attacker can send a single request with a crafted Accept-Encoding         header and cause disproportionate CPU consumption on the         compression middleware path. This results in a denial of service         condition for applications using Rack::Deflater.

    CVE-2026-34763

        Rack::Directory interpolates the configured root path directly         into a regular expression when deriving the displayed directory         path. If root contains regex metacharacters such as +, *, or .,         the prefix stripping can fail and the generated directory listing         may expose the full filesystem path in the HTML output.

    CVE-2026-34785

        Rack::Static determines whether a request should be served as a         static file using a simple string prefix check. When configured         with URL prefixes such as /css, it matches any request path that         begins with that string, including unrelated paths such as         /css-config.env or /css-backup.sql. As a result, files under         the static root whose names merely share the configured prefix may         be served unintentionally, leading to information disclosure.

    CVE-2026-34786

        Rack::Static#applicable_rules evaluates several header_rules types         against the raw URL-encoded PATH_INFO, while the underlying         file-serving path is decoded before the file is served. As a         result, a request for a URL-encoded variant of a static path can         serve the same file without the headers that header_rules were         intended to apply. In deployments that rely on Rack::Static to         attach security-relevant response headers to static content, this         can allow an attacker to bypass those headers by requesting an         encoded form of the path.

    CVE-2026-34826

        Rack::Utils.get_byte_ranges parses the HTTP Range header without         limiting the number of individual byte ranges. Although the         existing fix for CVE-2024-26141 rejects ranges whose total byte         coverage exceeds the file size, it does not restrict the count of         ranges. An attacker can supply many small overlapping ranges such         as 0-0,0-0,0-0,... to trigger disproportionate CPU, memory, I/O,         and bandwidth consumption per request. This results in a denial of         service condition in Rack file-serving paths that process         multipart byte range responses.

    CVE-2026-34829

        Rack::Multipart::Parser only wraps the request body in a BoundedIO         when CONTENT_LENGTH is present. When a multipart/form-data request         is sent without a Content-Length header, such as with HTTP chunked         transfer encoding, multipart parsing continues until end-of-stream         with no total size limit. For file parts, the uploaded body is         written directly to a temporary file on disk rather than being         constrained by the buffered in-memory upload limit. An         unauthenticated attacker can therefore stream an arbitrarily large         multipart file upload and consume unbounded disk space. This         results in a denial of service condition for Rack applications         that accept multipart form data.

    CVE-2026-34830

        Rack::Sendfile#map_accel_path interpolates the value of the         X-Accel-Mapping request header directly into a regular expression         when rewriting file paths for X-Accel-Redirect. Because the header         value is not escaped, an attacker who can supply X-Accel-Mapping         to the backend can inject regex metacharacters and control the         generated X-Accel-Redirect response header. In deployments using         Rack::Sendfile with x-accel-redirect, this can allow an attacker         to cause nginx to serve unintended files from configured internal         locations.

    CVE-2026-34831

        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.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.1.4-3+deb11u6.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-34830:
    Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6,     Rack::Sendfile#map_accel_path interpolates the value of the X-Accel-Mapping request header directly into a     regular expression when rewriting file paths for X-Accel-Redirect. Because the header value is not     escaped, an attacker who can supply X-Accel-Mapping to the backend can inject regex metacharacters and     control the generated X-Accel-Redirect response header. In deployments using Rack::Sendfile with x-accel-     redirect, this can allow an attacker to cause nginx to serve unintended files from configured internal     locations. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.

    CVE-2026-34827:
    Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. From versions 3.0.0.beta1 to before 3.1.21, and 3.2.0 to     before 3.2.6, Rack::Multipart::Parser#handle_mime_head parses quoted multipart parameters such as Content-     Disposition: form-data; name=... using repeated String#index searches combined with String#slice! prefix     deletion. 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.

    Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5,     `Rack::Directory` generates an HTML directory index where each file entry is rendered as a clickable link.
    If a file exists on disk whose basename starts with the `javascript:` scheme (e.g. `javascript:alert(1)`),     the generated index contains an anchor whose `href` is exactly `javascript:alert(1)`. Clicking the entry     executes JavaScript in the browser (demonstrated with `alert(1)`). Versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5 fix     the issue.

    CVE-2026-22860:
    Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5,     `Rack::Directory`s path check used a string prefix match on the expanded path. A request like     `/../root_example/` can escape the configured root if the target path starts with the root string,     allowing directory listing outside the intended root. Versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5 fix the issue.

    (CVE-2026-34835)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of the Rack Ruby library installed on the remote host is prior to 2.2.23, prior to 3.1.21, or prior to 3.2.6.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Rack::Utils.get_byte_ranges parses HTTP Range header without limiting the number of individual byte ranges,     leading to denial of service (CVE-2026-34826)

  - Rack::Static uses simple string prefix check allowing unintended file disclosure (CVE-2026-34785)

  - Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding has quadratic time complexity with many wildcard Accept-Encoding     entries (CVE-2026-34230)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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::Utils.select_best_encoding processes Accept-Encoding values with quadratic time complexity when the     header contains many wildcard (*) entries. Because this method is used by Rack::Deflater to choose a     response encoding, an unauthenticated attacker can send a single request with a crafted Accept-Encoding     header and cause disproportionate CPU consumption on the compression middleware path. This results in a     denial of service condition for applications using Rack::Deflater. This issue has been patched in versions     2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6. (CVE-2026-34230)

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