Sinatra is vulnerable to ReDoS through ETag header value generation

Quick fix

GHSA-mr3q-g2mv-mr4q — sinatra: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

bundle update sinatra

Details

### Summary

There is a denial of service vulnerability in the `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` header parsing component of Sinatra, if the `etag` method is used when constructing the response and you are using Ruby < 3.2.

### Details

Carefully crafted input can cause `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` header parsing in Sinatra to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. This header is typically involved in generating the `ETag` header value. Any applications that use the `etag` method when generating a response are impacted if they are using Ruby below version 3.2.
