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: 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: 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: 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: integer overflow in rb_ary_splice/update/replace() - REALLOC_N

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
