Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- rack-contrib provides contributed rack middleware and utilities for Rack, a Ruby web server interface.
Versions of rack-contrib prior to 2.5.0 are vulnerable to denial of service due to the fact that the user
controlled data `profiler_runs` was not constrained to any limitation. This would lead to allocating
