Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

CVE-2022-44570

High
7.5/10

Summary

A denial of service vulnerability in the Range header parsing component of Rack versions 1.5.0.beta.1 through 2.0.9.1, 2.1.0 through 2.1.4.1, 2.2.0 through 2.2.6.1, and 3.0.0.beta1 through 3.0.4. A Carefully crafted input can cause the Range header parsing component in Rack to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service attack vector. Any applications that deal with Range requests (such as streaming applications, or applications that serve files) may be impacted.
