Descriptions

actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_type.rb in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.22.1, 4.0.x and 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before 4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 does not properly restrict use of the MIME type cache, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted HTTP Accept header.

actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_type.rb en Action Pack en Ruby on Rails en versiones anteriores a 3.2.22.1, 4.0.x y 4.1.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.5.1 y 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.0.beta1.1 no restringe adecuadamente el uso de la caché de tipo MIME, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de una cabecera HTTP Accept manipulada.

A flaw was found in the way the Action Pack component performed MIME type lookups. Since queries were cached in a global cache of MIME types, an attacker could use this flaw to grow the cache indefinitely, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
