description

Puma releases before 7.2.2 or 8.0.3 can let an unauthenticated client stall a worker's reactor, delaying service for connections managed by that worker. Exposure exists with the default settings when Puma is directly reachable by untrusted clients and the application has an endpoint with client-influenced response size. A response-buffering reverse proxy prevents this condition.

mitigation

Upgrade Puma to 7.2.2 or 8.0.3. Until upgraded, place Puma behind a reverse proxy that buffers requests and responses, and do not expose its listener directly to untrusted clients.

fixed in 8.0.3, 7.2.2
