      <title>CVE-2023-22796</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-22796</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; https://github.com/rails/rails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Active Support &amp;lt;6.1.7.1 and &amp;lt;7.0.4.1. A specially crafted string passed to the underscore method can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>GHSA-j6gc-792m-qgm2 — ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Active Support's underscore</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-j6gc-792m-qgm2</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; RubyGems: activesupport&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Active Support. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22796.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Versions Affected: All Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS, which is a paid service and not part of the rubygem), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1
Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A specially crafted string passed to the underscore method can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This affects String#underscore, ActiveSupport::Inflector.underscore, String#titleize, and any other methods using these.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Releases&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users on Ruby 3.2.0 or greater may be able to reduce the impact by configuring Regexp.timeout.
Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To aid users who aren’t able to upgrade immediately we have provided patches for the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a single changeset.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6-1-Avoid-regex-backtracking-in-Inflector.underscore.patch - Patch for 6.1 series
    7-0-Avoid-regex-backtracking-in-Inflector.underscore.patch - Patch for 7.0 series&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please note that only the 7.0.Z and 6.1.Z series are supported at present, and 6.0.Z for severe vulnerabilities. Users o…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
