ruby: Integer overflows in rb_ary_store()

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

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...

ruby: hash table collisions CPU usage DoS (oCERT-2011-003)

Ruby aka CRuby before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without 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 a hash table...

ruby: memory corruption in BigDecimal on 64bit platforms

The VpMemAlloc function in bigdecimal.c in the BigDecimal class in Ruby 1.9.2-p136 and earlier, as used on Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 and other platforms, does not properly allocate memory, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service applicati...

ruby: Unsafe use of alloca in rb_str_format()

The rbstrformat 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 allows context-dependent attackers to trigger memory corruption via unspecified vectors related to alloca, a different issue than CVE-2008-2662,...

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: missing "taintness" checks in dl module

The dl module in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71, and 1.9 through r18423 does not check "taintness" of inputs, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe levels and execute dangerous functions by accessing a library using DL.dlopen...

ruby: multiple insufficient safe mode restrictions

Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71, and 1.9 through r18423 does not properly restrict access to critical variables and methods at various safe levels, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via 1 untracevar, 2...

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: 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: 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: 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...

ruby: use of predictable source port and transaction id in DNS requests done by resolv.rb module

resolv.rb in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p287, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p72, and 1.9 r18423 and earlier uses sequential transaction IDs and constant source ports for DNS requests, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, a different vulnerability than...

ruby: WEBrick DoS vulnerability (CPU consumption)

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the WEBrick::HTTPUtils.splitheadervalue function in WEBrick::HTTP::DefaultFileHandler in WEBrick in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71, and 1.9 through r18423 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of...

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

Ruby before 1.8.6-p114 does not reset the random seed upon forking, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the values of random numbers by leveraging knowledge of the number sequence obtained in a different child process, a related issue to CVE-2003-0900...

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...
