SCA: security update for puma (GHSA-h99w-9q5r-gjq9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415616

Description

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

 - Puma is a simple, fast, multi-threaded, parallel HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. When using
 Puma behind a proxy that does not properly validate that the incoming HTTP request matches the RFC7230
 standard, Puma and the frontend proxy may disagree on where a request starts and ends. This would allow
 requests to be smuggled via the front-end proxy to Puma. The vulnerability has been fixed in 5.6.4 and
 4.3.12. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. Workaround: when deploying a proxy in front of
 Puma, turning on any and all functionality to make sure that the request matches the RFC7230 standard.
 (CVE-2022-24790)
