DESCRIPTION
Summary
There is a denial of service vulnerability in the If-Match and
If-None-Match header parsing component of Sinatra, if the etag
method is used when constructing the response and you are using Ruby < 3.2.
Details
Carefully crafted input can cause If-Match and If-None-Match
header parsing in Sinatra to take an unexpected amount of time,
possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. This header
is typically involved in generating the ETag header value. Any
applications that use the etag method when generating a response
are impacted if they are using Ruby below version 3.2.
