Published Dec 1, 2022 · Updated Dec 6, 2022

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-30123: A flaw was found in ruby gem-rack. This flaw allows a malicious actor to craft requests that can cause shell escape sequences to be written to the terminal via rack's `Lint` middleware and `CommonLogger` middleware. This issue can leverage these escape sequences to execute commands in the victim's terminal. CVE-2022-30122: A denial of service flaw was found in ruby-rack. An attacker crafting multipart POST requests can cause Rack's multipart parser to take much longer than expected, leading to a denial of service.
