Rack's improper unfolding of folded multipart headers preserves CRLF in parsed parameter values

## Summary `Rack::Multipart::Parser` unfolds folded multipart part headers incorrectly. When a multipart header contains an obs-fold sequence, Rack preserves the embedded CRLF in parsed parameter values such as `filename` or `name` instead of removing the folded line break during unfolding. As a result, applications that later reuse those parsed values in HTTP response headers may be vulnerable to downstream header injection or response splitting. ## Details `Rack::Multipart::Parser` accepts folded multipart header values and unfolds them during parsing. However, the unfolding behavior does not fully remove the embedded line break sequence from the parsed value. This means a multipart part header such as: ```http Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test\r\n foo.txt" ``` can result in a parsed parameter value that still contains CRLF characters. The issue is not that Rack creates a second multipart header field. Rather, the problem is that CRLF remains embedded in the parsed metadata value after unfolding. If an application later uses that value in a security-sensitive context, such as constructing an HTTP response header, the preserved CRLF may alter downstream header parsing. Affected values may include multipart parameters such as `filename`, `name`, or similar parsed header attributes. ## Impact Applications that accept multipart form uploads may be affected if they later reuse parsed multipart metadata in HTTP headers or other header-sensitive contexts. In affected deployments, an attacker may be able to supply a multipart parameter value containing folded line breaks and cause downstream header injection, response splitting, cache poisoning, or related response parsing issues. The practical impact depends on application behavior. If parsed multipart metadata is not reused in HTTP headers, the issue may be limited to incorrect parsing behavior rather than a direct exploit path. ## Mitigation * Update to a patched version of Rack that removes CRLF correctly when unfolding folded multipart header values. * Avoid copying upload metadata such as `filename` directly into HTTP response headers without sanitization. * Sanitize or reject carriage return and line feed characters in multipart-derived values before reusing them in response headers, logs, or downstream protocol contexts. * Where feasible, normalize uploaded filenames before storing or reflecting them.
