CVE-2019-16254

MEDIUM

Ruby <2.4.7, 2.5.x<2.5.6, 2.6.x<2.6.4 - HTTP Response Splitting

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742, which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an isolated CR or an isolated LF.
