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, and 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22; and 2 the rbaryreplace function in 1.6.x allows context-dependent attackers to trigger memory corruption via unspecified vectors, aka the...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Unsafe parsing of long strings via decode_www_form_component method

The URI.decodewwwformcomponent method in Ruby before 1.9.2-p330 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service catastrophic regular expression backtracking, resource consumption, or application crash via a crafted string...

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: 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: 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: WEBrick CGI source disclosure

Directory traversal vulnerability in WEBrick 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, when using NTFS or FAT filesystems, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary CGI files via a trailing 1 + plus, 2 %2b encode...

ruby: SMTP command injection via CRLF sequences in RCPT TO or MAIL FROM commands in Net::SMTP

A SMTP command injection flaw was found in the way Ruby's Net::SMTP module handled CRLF sequences in certain SMTP commands. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to inject SMTP commands in a SMTP session in order to facilitate phishing attacks or spam campaigns...

ruby: Buffer overrun in String-to-Float conversion

A buffer overrun vulnerability was found in Ruby. The issue occurs in a conversion algorithm from a String to a Float that causes process termination due to a segmentation fault, but under limited circumstances. This flaw may cause an illegal memory read...

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

Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 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. NOTE: this issu...

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: 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...
