 Package : ruby-sidekiq Version : 5.2.3+dfsg-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2021-30151 CVE-2022-23837 Debian Bug : 987354 1004193

 ruby-sidekiq, a simple, efficient background processing for Ruby, had a couple of vulnerabilities as follows:

 CVE-2021-30151

 Sidekiq allows XSS via the queue name of the live-poll feature when Internet Explorer is used.

 CVE-2022-23837

 In api.rb in Sidekiq, there is no limit on the number of days when requesting stats for the graph. This overloads the system, affecting the Web UI, and makes it unavailable to users.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 5.2.3+dfsg-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-sidekiq packages.

 For the detailed security status of ruby-sidekiq please refer to its security tracker page at:
