| Description: |
From the Red Hat bugzilla [1], [2], [3]:
[1] Upstream released Rack 1.4.2, 1.3.7, 1.2.6, and 1.1.4 to fix a denial of service condition when Rack parses content with a certain Content-Disposition header as noted in the original report. (CVE-2012-6109)
[2] Upstream released [1] Rack 1.4.3 and 1.3.8 to fix a denial of service condition due to a malicious client sending excessively long lines that trigger an out-of-memory error in Rack. (CVE-2013-0183)
[3] A flaw that was fixed in 1.4.4, 1.3.9, 1.2.7, and 1.1.5 was also announced that creates a minor denial of service condition, this time in the Rack::Auth::AbstractRequest, where it symbolized arbitrary strings (apparently this has something to do with authentication, but there is no further information provided other than the fix itself, which is noted as "a breaking API change"). (CVE-2013-0184)
