Description

A flaw was found in rubygem-rack. This issue occurs in the Multipart MIME parsing code in Rack, which limits the number of file parts but does not limit the total number of parts that can be uploaded. Carefully crafted requests can abuse this and cause multipart parsing to take longer than expected, resulting in a denial of service.
