Description
Withdrawn, accidental duplicate publish.
actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails 4.x before 4.2.5.1 and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (superfluous caching and memory consumption) by leveraging an application's use of a wildcard controller route.
Affected versions
RubyGems
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| actionpack | >= 4.2.0, < 4.2.5.1 |

| actionpack | >= 4.0.0, < 4.1.14.1 |

How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
actionpack RubyGems → 4.2.5.1
