Package : ruby-httparty Version : 0.16.2+dfsg1-3+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-22049

It was discovered that there was a HTTP header injection vulnerability in ruby-httparty, a web service library used in various Ruby applications.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could have provided a crafted filename parameter during multipart/form-data uploads which could have resulted in, for example, an attacker controlling filenames being written to disk.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.16.2+dfsg1-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-httparty packages.
