- An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in the Psych::Emitter start_document function of Ruby.
In Psych::Emitter start_document function heap buffer head allocation is made based on tags array
length. Specially constructed object passed as element of tags array can increase this array size after
mentioned allocation and cause heap overflow. (CVE-2016-2338)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
