Vulnerability CVE-2019-16770


Published: 2019-12-05

Description:
In Puma before version 4.3.2, a poorly-behaved client could use keepalive requests to monopolize Puma's reactor and create a denial of service attack. If more keepalive connections to Puma are opened than there are threads available, additional connections will wait permanently if the attacker sends requests frequently enough.
