Impact
Prior to version 6.4.2, puma exhibited dangerous behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies.
Fixed versions limit the size of chunk extensions. Without this limit, an attacker could cause unbounded resource (CPU, network bandwidth) consumption.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in 6.4.2 and 5.6.8.
Workarounds
No known workarounds.
