high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413578

Description

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

- Puma is a web server for Ruby/Rack applications built for parallelism. Prior to version 6.4.2, puma
exhibited incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies in a way that allowed HTTP
request smuggling. Fixed versions limits the size of chunk extensions. Without this limit, an attacker
could cause unbounded resource (CPU, network bandwidth) consumption. This vulnerability has been fixed in
versions 6.4.2 and 5.6.8. (CVE-2024-21647)
