I don't think * is not an invalid mime type

oops, * is but */* is not and we got an exception for it

that's because it was malformated as well (bugsnag html source)
it was surrounded with spaces <invisible space>*/*<invisible space>

To be fair I also thing * is valid, or at least IE10 sends it by default.

hmm if IE10 sends it by default then we should probably support it, although the RFC doesn't say it's valid https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#page-38
I'll try to modify the regex

(How did you check btw, so I know for next time).
All requests were to xml paths in very crazy pages. This looks like behavior of bots.
If the browser sends malformated query paratemers or invalid bite sequence, rack would raise and block access to the app as well, no ?
Right, but this started because of a change on the browser, where now this started because of a change in the framework that is now rejecting a request that were valid for years.

I had a look in our logs and DW, the Accept headers on IE 10 is correctly formatted and sent as */*

Just to confirm @rafaelfranca , do we want to modify the regex to include the * mime?

If we know IE10 is not sending that, it is fine to exclude it.

For anyone running into the same situation, I believe we are getting this error from valid IE 10 machines. Example UA below:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36
I looked up the UA and it appears to be listed in https://developers.whatismybrowser.com/useragents/explore/software_name/chrome/ as well.
Maybe it would be good to allow *?

…ponse: - rails#35604 introduced a vulnerability fix to raise an error in case the `HTTP_ACCEPT` headers contains malformated mime type. This will cause applications to throw a 500 if a User Agent sends an invalid header. This PR adds the `InvalidMimeType` in the default `rescue_responses` from the ExceptionWrapper and will return a 406. I looked up the HTTP/1.1 RFC and it doesn't stand what should be returned when the UA sends malformated mime type. Decided to get 406 as it seemed to be the status the better suited for this.

…_app: - Rescuing the InvalidMimeType error in the PublicException class wasn't a good idea because if an app has a custom exception_class it will cause the same issue. This PR move the rescue around calling the exception_app.

To be able to distinguish from other kinds of `Mime::Type::InvalidMimeType` that may be raised by user or third-party code. It's only failure in parsing client-supplied content-types in ActionDispatch::Http::MimeNegotiation that should result in special handling. This also allows third-party error handling/tracking code to specifically target the new `ActionDispatch::Http::MimeNegotiation::InvalidType` for ignoring or other special handling, separate from `Mime::Type::InvalidMimeType` This is a revision of rails#35753 in response to rails#37620 and discussion with @eugeneius
