CWE-74

Description

Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742, which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an isolated CR or an isolated LF.

Affected configurations

• ruby-lang ruby (<= 2.3.0) • ruby-lang ruby (>= 2.4.0 <= 2.4.7) • ruby-lang ruby (>= 2.5.0 <= 2.5.6) • ruby-lang ruby (>= 2.6.0 <= 2.6.4) • debian debian linux 8.0
