Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for
the Ruby language, which may result in denial-of-service (DoS),
information leak, and remote code execution.

CVE-2021-33621

The cgi gem allows HTTP response splitting. This is relevant to
applications that use untrusted user input either to generate an
HTTP response or to create a CGI::Cookie object.

CVE-2022-28739

Buffer over-read occurs in String-to-Float conversion, including
Kernel#Float and String#to_f.

CVE-2023-28755

A ReDoS issue was discovered in the URI component. The URI parser
mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes
an increase in execution time for parsing strings to URI objects.

CVE-2023-28756

A ReDoS issue was discovered in the Time component. The Time
parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It
causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to Time
objects.

CVE-2023-36617

Follow-up fix for CVE-2023-28755.

CVE-2024-27280

A buffer-overread issue was discovered in StringIO. The ungetbyte
and ungetc methods on a StringIO can read past the end of a
string, and a subsequent call to StringIO.gets may return the
memory value.

CVE-2024-27281

When parsing .rdoc_options (used for configuration in RDoc) as a
YAML file, object injection and resultant remote code execution
are possible because there are no restrictions on the classes that
can be restored. (When loading the documentation cache, object
injection and resultant remote code execution are also possible if
there were a crafted cache.)

CVE-2024-27282

If attacker-supplied data is provided to the Ruby regex compiler,
it is possible to extract arbitrary heap data relative to the
start of the text, including pointers and sensitive strings.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
2.7.4-1+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.7 packages.
