DL::dlopen in Ruby 1.8, 1.9.0, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 before patchlevel 648, and 2.1 before 2.1.8 opens libraries with tainted names...

ruby: Integer overflows in rb_str_buf_append()

Multiple integer overflows in the rbstrbufappend function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that...

ruby: Arbitrary memory address read vulnerability with Regex search

A flaw was found in Ruby. 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...

ruby: ReDoS vulnerability in Time

A flaw was found in the Time gem and Time library of Ruby. The Time parser mishandles invalid strings with specific characters and causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to Time objects. This issue may result in a Regular expression denial of service ReDoS...

ruby: FTP PASV command response can cause Net::FTP to connect to arbitrary host

Ruby's Net::FTP module trusted the IP address included in the FTP server's response to the PASV command. A malicious FTP server could use this to make Ruby applications using the Net::FTP module to connect to arbitrary hosts and use this to perform port scanning or information extraction from...

ruby: Potential HTTP request smuggling in WEBrick

An issue was discovered in Ruby through 2.5.8, 2.6.x through 2.6.6, and 2.7.x through 2.7.1. WEBrick, a simple HTTP server bundled with Ruby, had not checked the transfer-encoding header value rigorously. An attacker may potentially exploit this issue to bypass a reverse proxy which also has a po...

ruby: HTTP response splitting in WEBrick

Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients...

ruby: Unintentional directory traversal by poisoned NULL byte in Dir

It was found that the methods from the Dir class did not properly handle strings containing the NULL byte. An attacker, able to inject NULL bytes in a path, could possibly trigger an unspecified behavior of the ruby script...

ruby: dlopen could open a library with tainted library name

The Fiddle::Handle implementation in ext/fiddle/handle.c in Ruby before 2.0.0-p648, 2.1 before 2.1.8, and 2.2 before 2.2.4, as distributed in Apple OS X before 10.11.4 and other products, mishandles tainting, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of...

ruby: REXML incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8080

The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3 patchlevel 551, 2.0.x before 2.0.0 patchlevel 598, and 2.1.x before 2.1.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service CPU and memory consumption a crafted XML document containing an empty string in an entity that is used in a large number of...

ruby: REXML billion laughs attack via parameter entity expansion

The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3-p550, 2.0.x before 2.0.0-p594, and 2.1.x before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption via a crafted XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack...

ruby: off-by-one stack-based buffer overflow in the encodes() function

Off-by-one error in the encodes function in pack.c in Ruby 1.9.3 and earlier, and 2.x through 2.1.2, when using certain format string specifiers, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service segmentation fault via vectors that trigger a stack-based buffer overflow...

ruby: Murmur hash-flooding DoS flaw in ruby 1.9 (oCERT-2012-001)

Ruby aka CRuby 1.9 before 1.9.3-p327 and 2.0 before r37575 computes hash values without properly restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via crafted input to an application that maintains...

ruby: integer overflow in rb_ary_splice/update/replace() - beg + rlen

Integer overflow in the 1 rbarysplice function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2; and 2 the rbaryreplace function in 1.6.x allows context-dependent attackers to trigger memory corruption, aka the "beg +...

ruby: entity expansion DoS vulnerability in REXML

lib/rexml/text.rb in the REXML parser in Ruby before 1.9.3-p392 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption and crash via crafted text nodes in an XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion XEE attack...

zlib: zlib: Memory corruption via buffer overflow in Zlib::GzipReader

A flaw was found in zlib, a Ruby interface for the zlib compression/decompression library. The Zlib::GzipReader component contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This occurs because the zstreambufferungets function does not ensure sufficient memory capacity before moving existing data, which ca...

ruby: XML round-trip vulnerability in REXML

A flaw was found in the way the Ruby REXML library parsed XML documents. Parsing a specially crafted XML document using REXML and writing parsed data back to a new XML document results in creating a document with a different structure. This issue could affect the integrity of processed data in...

ruby: Arbitrary heap exposure during a JSON.generate call

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the JSON extension of ruby. An attacker with the ability to pass a specially crafted JSON input to the extension could use this flaw to expose the interpreter's heap memory...

ruby: Escape sequence injection vulnerability in the Basic authentication of WEBrick

It was found that WEBrick did not sanitize all its log messages. If logs were printed in a terminal, an attacker could interact with the terminal via the use of escape sequences...

ruby: Properly initialize the random number generator when forking new process

The SecureRandom.randombytes function in lib/securerandom.rb in Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 and 1.9.x before 1.9.2-p290 relies on PID values for initialization, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the result string by leveraging knowledge of random strings obtained in an...
