Dist Debian Esm H88
The latest security update DLA-3948-1 concerns critical flaws in the Apache web server within Debian, urging users to promptly update for enhanced protection.
Two vulnerabilities have been fixed in puma, a threaded HTTP server for Ruby/Rack applications

Summary

Two vulnerabilities have been fixed in puma, a threaded HTTP server
for Ruby/Rack applications.

CVE-2024-21647

Incorrect behavior when parsing chunked transfer encoding bodies
in a way that allowed HTTP request smuggling. Fixed versions
limits the size of chunk extensions. Without this limit, an
attacker could cause unbounded resource (CPU, network bandwidth)
consumption.

CVE-2024-45614

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.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
4.3.8-1+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your puma packages.
