SCA: security update for puma (GHSA-68xg-gqqm-vgj8)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411321

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. Prior to versions 6.3.1 and 5.6.7, puma exhibited
 incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies and zero-length Content-Length headers in
 a way that allowed HTTP request smuggling. Severity of this issue is highly dependent on the nature of the
 web site using puma is. This could be caused by either incorrect parsing of trailing fields in chunked
 transfer encoding bodies or by parsing of blank/zero-length Content-Length headers. Both issues have been
 addressed and this vulnerability has been fixed in versions 6.3.1 and 5.6.7. Users are advised to upgrade.
 There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-40175)
