Affected packages

• RubyGems actionpack: >= 3.0.0, < 3.2.17 → fixed in 3.2.17

Description

`actionpack/lib/action_view/template/text.rb` in Action View in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.17 converts MIME type strings to symbols during use of the `:text` option to the `render` method, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by including these strings in headers.
