Hash: SHA512
Package : ruby-excon
Version : 0.33.0-2+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2019-16779
Debian Bug : 946904
In RubyGem excon before 0.71.0, there was a race condition around
persistent connections, where a connection which is interrupted (such
as by a timeout) would leave data on the socket. Subsequent requests
would then read this data, returning content from the previous response.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
0.33.0-2+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-excon packages.
