{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59830","details":"Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to version 2.2.18, Rack::QueryParser enforces its params_limit only for parameters separated by &, while still splitting on both & and ;. As a result, attackers could use ; separators to bypass the parameter count limit and submit more parameters than intended. Applications or middleware that directly invoke Rack::QueryParser with its default configuration (no explicit delimiter) could be exposed to increased CPU and memory consumption. This can be abused as a limited denial-of-service vector. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.18.","modified":"2026-04-17T10:09:21.878433Z","published":"2025-09-26T00:00:00Z","related":["USN-7784-1","USN-7960-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2025-59830"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-59830"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-59830"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/rack/rack/security/advisories/GHSA-625h-95r8-8xpm"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7784-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7960-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack@1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.2-1","1.5.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm2","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm3","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm4","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm6","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm7","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm8","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm9","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm10","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"librack-ruby","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"},{"binary_name":"librack-ruby1.8","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"},{"binary_name":"librack-ruby1.9.1","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"},{"binary_name":"ruby-rack","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59830.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack@1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm10?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.2-4","1.6.4-2","1.6.4-3","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.1","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm1","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm2","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm4","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm5","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm6","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm7","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm8","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm9","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm10"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ruby-rack","binary_version":"1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm10"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59830.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack@1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm10?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.4-4","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.1","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm1","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm2","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm4","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm5","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm6","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm7","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm8","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm9","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm10"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm10","binary_name":"ruby-rack"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59830.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack@2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm8?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm8"}]}],"versions":["2.0.6-3","2.0.7-2","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm1","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm2","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm3","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm4","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm5","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm6","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm7"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available
