Bumps rack from 2.0.6 to 2.2.3. This update includes security fixes.
Vulnerabilities fixed
Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.
Low severity vulnerability that affects rack
There's a possible information leak / session hijack vulnerability in Rack. Attackers may be able to find and hijack sessions by using timing attacks targeting the session id. Session ids are usually stored and indexed in a database that uses some kind of scheme for speeding up lookups of that session id. By carefully measuring the amount of time it takes to look up a session, an attacker may be able to find a valid session id and hijack the session.
The session id itself may be generated randomly, but the way the session is indexed by the backing store does not use a secure comparison.
Impact
The session id stored in a cookie is the same id that is used when querying the backing session storage engine. Most storage mechanisms (for example a database) use some sort of indexing in order to speed up the lookup of that id. By carefully timing requests and session lookup failures, an attacker may be able to perform a timing attack to determine an existing session id and hijack that session.
Releases
The 1.6.12 and 2.0.8 releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
There are no known workarounds.
Patches
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

Directory traversal in Rack::Directory app bundled with Rack
There was a possible directory traversal vulnerability in the Rack::Directory app
that is bundled with Rack.
Versions Affected: rack < 2.2.0
Not affected: Applications that do not use Rack::Directory.
Fixed Versions: 2.1.3, >= 2.2.0
Impact
If certain directories exist in a director that is managed by
Rack::Directory, an attacker could, using this vulnerability, read the
contents of files on the server that were outside of the root specified in the
Rack::Directory initializer.
Workarounds
Until such time as the patch is applied or their Rack version is upgraded,
we recommend that developers do not use Rack::Directory in their
Percent-encoded cookies can be used to overwrite existing prefixed cookie names
It is possible to forge a secure or host-only cookie prefix in Rack using
an arbitrary cookie write by using URL encoding (percent-encoding) on the
name of the cookie. This could result in an application that is dependent on
this prefix to determine if a cookie is safe to process being manipulated
into processing an insecure or cross-origin request.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2020-8184.
Versions Affected: rack < 2.2.3, rack < 2.1.4
Not affected: Applications which do not rely on __Host- and __Secure- prefixes to determine if a cookie is safe to process
Fixed Versions: rack >= 2.2.3, rack >= 2.1.4
Impact
An attacker may be able to trick a vulnerable application into processing an
insecure (non-SSL) or cross-origin request if they can gain the ability to write
arbitrary cookies that are sent to the application.
