PARTIAL Summary
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 (application crash) via vectors involving creation of a large BigDecimal value within a 64-bit process, related to an "integer truncation issue." Per: http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2011/Mar/msg00006.html 'This issue only affects 64-bit Ruby processes'.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to do system management tasks. A flaw was found in the way large amounts of memory were allocated on 64-bit systems when using the BigDecimal class. A context-dependent attacker could use this flaw to cause memory corruption, causing a Ruby application that uses the BigDecimal class to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. This issue did not affect 32-bit systems. (CVE-2011-0188) It was found that WEBrick (the Ruby HTTP server toolkit) did not filter terminal escape sequences from its log files. A remote attacker could use specially crafted HTTP requests to inject terminal escape sequences into the WEBrick log files. If a victim viewed the log files with a terminal emulator, it could result in control characters being executed with the privileges of that user. (CVE-2009-4492) A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way WEBrick displayed error pages. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims by tricking them into visiting a specially crafted URL. (CVE-2010-0541) A flaw was found in the method for translating an exception message into a string in the Exception class. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass safe level 4 restrictions, allowing untrusted (tainted) code to modify arbitrary, trusted (untainted) strings, which safe level 4 restrictions would otherwise prevent. (CVE-2011-1005) Red Hat would like to thank Drew Yao of Apple Product Security for reporting the CVE-2011-0188 and CVE-2010-0541 issues. All Ruby users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 68297 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/68297 title Oracle Linux 4 : ruby (ELSA-2011-0908) NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2011-0909.NASL description From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0909 : Updated ruby packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to do system management tasks. A flaw was found in the way large amounts of memory were allocated on 64-bit systems when using the BigDecimal class. A context-dependent attacker could use this flaw to cause memory corruption, causing a Ruby application that uses the BigDecimal class to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. This issue did not affect 32-bit systems. (CVE-2011-0188) It was found that WEBrick (the Ruby HTTP server toolkit) did not filter terminal escape sequences from its log files. A remote attacker could use specially crafted HTTP requests to inject terminal escape sequences into the WEBrick log files. If a victim viewed the log files with a terminal emulator, it could result in control characters being executed with the privileges of that user. (CVE-2009-4492) A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way WEBrick displayed error pages. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims by tricking them into visiting a specially crafted URL. (CVE-2010-0541) A flaw was found in the method for translating an exception message into a string in the Exception class. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass safe level 4 restrictions, allowing untrusted (tainted) code to modify arbitrary, trusted (untainted) strings, which safe level 4 restrictions would otherwise prevent. (CVE-2011-1005) Red Hat would like to thank Drew Yao of Apple Product Security for reporting the CVE-2011-0188 and CVE-2010-0541 issues. All Ruby users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 55837 published 2011-08-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2011-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/55837 title CentOS 4 : ruby (CESA-2011:0908) NASL family SuSE Local Security Checks NASL id SUSE_11_RUBY-110517.NASL description The following several security issues of ruby have been fixed : - A race condition allowing local users to delete arbitrary files.

The FileUtils.remove_entry_secure method in Ruby allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack (CVE-2011-1004). The safe-level feature in Ruby allows context-dependent attackers to modify strings via the Exception#to_s method, as demonstrated by changing an intended pathname (CVE-2011-1005). The VpMemAlloc function in bigdecimal.c in the BigDecimal class in Ruby does not properly allocate memory, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving creation of a large BigDecimal value within a 64-bit process, related to an integer truncation issue. (CVE-2011-0188). Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.
