ETK-2026-4349Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
Puma deployments that accept connections directly from clients can be disrupted through exhaustion of the process file-descriptor limit. An unauthenticated attacker can sustain idle connections, causing excessive logging that may exhaust disk space and stop Puma from accepting new connections. Deployments protected by a proxy or load balancer that limits connections to Puma are not affected by this condition.
mitigation
Upgrade Puma to version 7.2.2 or 8.0.3. Limit per-client connections at a reverse proxy or load balancer, and ensure Puma logs are rotated or written to storage that cannot fill the host disk.
fixed in 7.2.2, 8.0.3
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
