ruby-rack: Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface
CVE-2026-34230 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by ruby-rack 3.2.4-1ubuntu1.1, released April 2, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding processes Accept-Encoding values with quadratic time complexity when the header contains many wildcard (*) entries. Because this method is used by Rack::Deflater to choose a response encoding, an unauthenticated attacker can send a single request with a crafted Accept-Encoding header and cause disproportionate CPU consumption on the compression middleware path. This results in a denial of service condition for applications using Rack::Deflater. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.
