CVE-2025-61772 (High) detected in rack-3.2.1.gem

Nobody has claimed this yet.

## CVE-2025-61772 - High Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-3.2.1.gem

Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing
web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in
the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web
servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called
middleware) into a single method call.

Vulnerability Details

Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. In versions prior to 2.2.19, 3.1.17, and 3.2.2, "Rack::Multipart::Parser" can accumulate unbounded data when a multipart part’s header block never terminates with the required blank line ("CRLFCRLF"). The parser keeps appending incoming bytes to memory without a size cap, allowing a remote attacker to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service (DoS). Attackers can send incomplete multipart headers to trigger high memory use, leading to process termination (OOM) or severe slowdown. The effect scales with request size limits and concurrency. All applications handling multipart uploads may be affected. Versions 2.2.19, 3.1.17, and 3.2.2 cap per-part header size (e.g., 64 KiB). As a workaround, restrict maximum request sizes at the proxy or web server layer (e.g., Nginx "client_max_body_size").

Step up your Open Source Security Game with Mend [here](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/full_solution_bolt_github)

Start with /Gemfile.lock and /vendor/cache/rack-3.2.1.gem, where the vulnerable Rack dependency is identified. Upgrade Rack to a fixed version such as 3.2.2, then confirm those dependency records no longer reference 3.2.1 and the reported CVE is resolved.
