Description
A flaw was found in Rack, a modular Ruby web server interface. Rack::Multipart::Parser incorrectly processes folded multipart part headers, failing to remove embedded carriage return and line feed (CRLF) characters. This can lead to applications that reuse these parsed values in HTTP response headers becoming vulnerable to header injection or response splitting, potentially allowing an attacker to manipulate HTTP responses.
