Summary
Rails Active Storage has a possible DoS vulnerability when in proxy mode via Range requests
Details

Impact

When serving files through Active Storage's Blobs::ProxyController, the controller loads the entire requested byte range into memory before sending it. A request with a large or unbounded Range header (e.g. bytes=0-) could cause the server to allocate memory proportional to the file size, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability through memory exhaustion.

Releases

The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
