February 20, 2014 (updated August 8, 2019)

actionpack/lib/action_view/template/text.rb in Action View in Ruby on Rails converts MIME type strings to symbols during use of the :text option to the render method, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by including these strings in headers.
