Affected Mageia releases: 9
CVE: CVE-2024-25126,
     CVE-2024-26141,
     CVE-2024-26146

Carefully crafted content type headers can cause Rack’s media type
parser to take much longer than expected, leading to a possible denial
of service vulnerability (ReDos 2nd degree polynomial). (CVE-2024-25126)
Carefully crafted Range headers can cause a server to respond with an
unexpectedly large response. Responding with such large responses could
lead to a denial of service issue. Vulnerable applications will use the
`Rack::File` middleware or the `Rack::Utils.byte_ranges` methods (this
includes Rails applications). (CVE-2024-26141)
Carefully crafted headers can cause header parsing in Rack to take
longer than expected resulting in a possible denial of service issue.
