GHSA-92w9-2pqw-rhjj actionpack Improper Authentication vulnerability

• RubyGems actionpack: >= 3.0.0.beta, < 3.0.16 → fixed in 3.0.16 • RubyGems actionpack: >= 3.1.0, < 3.1.7 → fixed in 3.1.7 • RubyGems actionpack: >= 3.2.0, < 3.2.7 → fixed in 3.2.7 • RubyGems actionpack: < 2.3.5 → fixed in 2.3.5

The `decode_credentials` method in `actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/http_authentication.rb` in Ruby on Rails before 3.0.16, 3.1.x before 3.1.7, and 3.2.x before 3.2.7 converts Digest Authentication strings to symbols, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by leveraging access to an application that uses a `with_http_digest` helper method, as demonstrated by the `authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest` method.
