Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Summary There is a denial of service vulnerability in the `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` header parsing component of Sinatra, if the `etag` method is used when constructing the response and you are using Ruby < 3.2. ### Details Carefully crafted input can cause `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` header parsing in Sinatra to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. This header is typically involved in generating the `ETag` header value. Any applications that use the `etag` method when generating a response are impacted if they are using Ruby below version 3.2. ### Resources * https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/issues/2120 (report) * https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/pull/2121 (fix) * https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/pull/1823 (older ReDoS vulnerability) * https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19104 (fix in Ruby >= 3.2)
