Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-34785

high Nessus Plugin ID 304823

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Static determines whether a request should be served as a static file using a simple string prefix check. When configured with URL prefixes such as /css, it matches any request path that begins with that string, including unrelated paths such as /css-config.env or /css-backup.sql. As a result, files under the static root whose names merely share the configured prefix may be served unintentionally, leading to information disclosure. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.
 (CVE-2026-34785)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
