No affected components available
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.
