description

Puma can leave worker threads blocked when an unauthenticated client stops reading a TLS response or a file response larger than 64 KB. An attacker can exhaust a worker's available threads and deny service where Puma terminates TLS itself or serves qualifying file responses.

mitigation

Upgrade Puma to 7.2.2 or 8.0.3. Until upgraded, terminate TLS at a reverse proxy or load balancer and serve static files there or keep proxy response buffering enabled.

fixed in 7.2.2, 8.0.3
