Impact

If this library is used to implement a WebSocket server on top of a TCP server, by using the WebSocket::Driver.server() method, then a client can cause the server to crash by sending a Host header that is not a valid host[:port] string. When this happens, a URI::InvalidURIError exception is raised which is not caught, and this can cause the server process to crash if the application does not catch the error from the parse() method itself.

Patches

The issue has been patched in version 0.8.2 by making the request parser catch URI::InvalidURIError and enter an error state if the Host header is malformed. This means the request is considered invalid and should not establish a WebSocket connection.

Workarounds

No known workarounds exist.
