Package : jruby
Version : 1.7.26-1+deb9u3
CVE ID : CVE-2020-25613

A potential HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in WEBrick
was reported.

WEBrick (bundled along with jruby) was too tolerant against
an invalid Transfer-Encoding header. This may lead to
inconsistent interpretation between WEBrick and some HTTP proxy
servers, which may allow the attacker to “smuggle” a request.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.7.26-1+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your jruby packages.
