CVE-2014-4975 4 Canonical, Debian, Redhat and 1 more 7 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 4 more 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
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.
CVE-2015-7551 2 Apple, Ruby-lang 2 Mac Os X, Ruby 2025-04-12 4.6 MEDIUM 8.4 HIGH
The Fiddle::Handle implementation in ext/fiddle/handle.c in Ruby before 2.0.0-p648, 2.1 before 2.1.8, and 2.2 before 2.2.4, as distributed in Apple OS X before 10.11.4 and other products, mishandles tainting, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted string, related to the DL module and the libffi library. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-5147 regression.
CVE-2013-2119 3 Phusion, Redhat, Ruby-lang 3 Passenger, Openshift, Ruby 2025-04-11 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
Phusion Passenger gem before 3.0.21 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 for Ruby allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevent application start) or gain privileges by pre-creating a temporary "config" file in a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/ before it is used by the gem.
CVE-2013-1948 2 Rob Westgeest, Ruby-lang 2 Md2pdf, Ruby 2025-04-11 10.0 HIGH N/A
converter.rb in the md2pdf gem 0.0.1 for Ruby allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename.
CVE-2012-4464 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Ruby 1.9.3 before patchlevel 286 and 2.0 before revision r37068 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe-level restrictions and modify untainted strings via the (1) exc_to_s or (2) name_err_to_s API function, which marks the string as tainted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-4466. NOTE: this issue might exist because of a CVE-2011-1005 regression.
CVE-2013-1821 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
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.
CVE-2010-2489 2 Microsoft, Ruby-lang 2 Windows, Ruby 2025-04-11 7.2 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.1-p429 on Windows might allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted ARGF.inplace_mode value that is not properly handled when constructing the filenames of the backup files.
CVE-2013-5647 2 Adam Zaninovich, Ruby-lang 2 Sounder, Ruby 2025-04-11 7.5 HIGH N/A
lib/sounder/sound.rb in the sounder gem 1.0.1 for Ruby allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename.
CVE-2013-1933 2 Documentcloud, Ruby-lang 2 Karteek-docsplit, Ruby 2025-04-11 9.3 HIGH N/A
The extract_from_ocr function in lib/docsplit/text_extractor.rb in the Karteek Docsplit (karteek-docsplit) gem 0.5.4 for Ruby allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a PDF filename.
CVE-2011-2705 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The SecureRandom.random_bytes 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 earlier process with the same PID.
CVE-2013-1655 3 Puppet, Puppetlabs, Ruby-lang 4 Puppet, Puppet Enterprise, Puppet and 1 more 2025-04-11 7.5 HIGH N/A
Puppet 2.7.x before 2.7.21 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, when running Ruby 1.9.3 or later, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to "serialized attributes."
CVE-2012-4481 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
The safe-level feature in Ruby 1.8.7 allows context-dependent attackers to modify strings via the NameError#to_s method when operating on Ruby objects. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1005.
CVE-2013-4164 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in Ruby 1.8, 1.9 before 1.9.3-p484, 2.0 before 2.0.0-p353, 2.1 before 2.1.0 preview2, and trunk before revision 43780 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a string that is converted to a floating point value, as demonstrated using (1) the to_f method or (2) JSON.parse.
CVE-2013-4073 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
The OpenSSL::SSL.verify_certificate_identity function in lib/openssl/ssl.rb in Ruby 1.8 before 1.8.7-p374, 1.9 before 1.9.3-p448, and 2.0 before 2.0.0-p247 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
CVE-2012-4466 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Ruby 1.8.7 before patchlevel 371, 1.9.3 before patchlevel 286, and 2.0 before revision r37068 allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe-level restrictions and modify untainted strings via the name_err_mesg_to_str API function, which marks the string as tainted, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1005.
CVE-2013-1911 2 Mark Burns, Ruby-lang 2 Ldoce, Ruby 2025-04-11 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
lib/ldoce/word.rb in the ldoce 0.0.2 gem for Ruby allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in (1) an mp3 URL or (2) file name.
CVE-2011-1005 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The safe-level feature in Ruby 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-420, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-330, and 1.8.8dev allows context-dependent attackers to modify strings via the Exception#to_s method, as demonstrated by changing an intended pathname.
CVE-2011-4815 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2025-04-11 7.8 HIGH N/A
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.
CVE-2013-4363 2 Ruby-lang, Rubygems 2 Ruby, Rubygems 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in Gem::Version::ANCHORED_VERSION_PATTERN in lib/rubygems/version.rb in RubyGems before 1.8.23.2, 1.8.24 through 1.8.26, 2.0.x before 2.0.10, and 2.1.x before 2.1.5, as used in Ruby 1.9.0 through 2.0.0p247, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted gem version that triggers a large amount of backtracking in a regular expression. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4287.
CVE-2013-2065 2 Opensuse, Ruby-lang 2 Opensuse, Ruby 2025-04-11 6.4 MEDIUM N/A
(1) DL and (2) Fiddle in Ruby 1.9 before 1.9.3 patchlevel 426, and 2.0 before 2.0.0 patchlevel 195, do not perform taint checking for native functions, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended $SAFE level restrictions.
