SCA: security update for rack (GHSA-cj83-2ww7-mvq7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413940

Description

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

 - Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Starting in version 3.1.0 and prior to version 3.1.5, Regular
 Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in the `Rack::Request::Helpers` module when
 parsing HTTP Accept headers. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker sending specially crafted
 `Accept-Encoding` or `Accept-Language` headers, causing the server to spend excessive time processing the
 request and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The fix for CVE-2024-26146 was not applied to the main
 branch and thus while the issue was fixed for the Rack v3.0 release series, it was not fixed in the v3.1
 release series until v3.1.5. Users of versions on the 3.1 branch should upgrade to version 3.1.5 to
 receive the fix. (CVE-2024-39316)
