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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...

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: 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: 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: 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...

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: 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: 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...
