Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ruby-webrick.

CVE-2024-47220[0]:
| An issue was discovered in the WEBrick toolkit through 1.8.1 for
| Ruby. It allows HTTP request smuggling by providing both a Content-
| Length header and a Transfer-Encoding header, e.g., "GET /admin
| HTTP/1.1\r\n" inside of a "POST /user HTTP/1.1\r\n" request. NOTE:
| the supplier's position is "Webrick should not be used in
| production."


As accordingly webrick should not be used in production, we have
marked it no-dsa for bookworm.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
