Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Ruby language, which may result in denial-of-service (DoS), information leak, HTTP response splitting, XML round-trip issues, and remote code execution.
-
CVE-2021-28965
The REXML gem does not properly address XML round-trip issues. An incorrect document can be produced after parsing and serializing.
-
CVE-2021-33621
The cgi gem allows HTTP response splitting. This is relevant to applications that use untrusted user input either to generate an HTTP response or to create a CGI::Cookie object.
-
CVE-2022-28739
Buffer over-read occurs in String-to-Float conversion, including Kernel#Float and String#to_f.
-
CVE-2023-28755, CVE-2023-36617
A ReDoS issue was discovered in the URI component. The URI parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to URI objects.
-
CVE-2023-28756
A ReDoS issue was discovered in the Time component. The Time parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to Time objects.
-
CVE-2024-27281
When parsing .rdoc_options (used for configuration in RDoc) as a YAML file, object injection and resultant remote code execution are possible because there are no restrictions on the classes that can be restored. (When loading the documentation cache, object injection and resultant remote code execution are also possible if there were a crafted cache.)
-
CVE-2024-27282
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.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.3-1+deb9u12.
We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.3 packages.
