SCA: security update for puma (GHSA-9hf4-67fc-4vf4)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413292
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. In affected versions clients could clobber values
set by intermediate proxies (such as X-Forwarded-For) by providing a underscore version of the same header
(X-Forwarded_For). Any users relying on proxy set variables is affected. v6.4.3/v5.6.9 now discards any
headers using underscores if the non-underscore version also exists. Effectively, allowing the proxy
defined headers to always win. Users are advised to upgrade. Nginx has a underscores_in_headers
configuration variable to discard these headers at the proxy level as a mitigation. Any users that are
implicitly trusting the proxy defined headers for security should immediately cease doing so until
upgraded to the fixed versions. (CVE-2024-45614)
