Description
A flaw was found in Rack, a modular Ruby web server interface. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted multipart/form-data request. This request, containing numerous parts with lengthy backslash-escaped parameter values, causes the system to consume excessive CPU resources during parsing. This algorithmic complexity issue ultimately leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition in Rack applications that process multipart form data.
