CVE-2013-4136 2 Phusion, Ruby-lang 2 Passenger, Ruby 2013-10-10 4.4 MEDIUM N/A
ext/common/ServerInstanceDir.h in Phusion Passenger gem before 4.0.6 for Ruby allows local users to gain privileges or possibly change the ownership of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/.
CVE-2013-5647 2 Adam Zaninovich, Ruby-lang 2 Sounder, Ruby 2013-08-29 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-2012-4464 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2013-08-26 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-2011-1005 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2013-08-13 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-2012-4522 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2013-05-03 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The rb_get_path_check function in file.c in Ruby 1.9.3 before patchlevel 286 and Ruby 2.0.0 before r37163 allows context-dependent attackers to create files in unexpected locations or with unexpected names via a NUL byte in a file path.
CVE-2013-1947 2 Kelly D. Redding, Ruby-lang 2 Kelredd-pruview, Ruby 2013-04-30 9.3 HIGH N/A
kelredd-pruview gem 0.3.8 for Ruby allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename argument to (1) document.rb, (2) video.rb, or (3) video_image.rb.
CVE-2012-5380 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2012-10-11 6.0 MEDIUM N/A
** DISPUTED ** Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installation functionality in Ruby 1.9.3-p194, when installed in the top-level C:\ directory, might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the C:\Ruby193\bin directory, which may be added to the PATH system environment variable by an administrator, as demonstrated by a Trojan horse wlbsctrl.dll file used by the "IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules" system service in Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows 8 Release Preview. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue because the unsafe PATH is established only by a separate administrative action that is not a default part of the Ruby installation.
CVE-2011-1004 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2012-05-11 6.3 MEDIUM N/A
The FileUtils.remove_entry_secure method in Ruby 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-420, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-330, 1.8.8dev, 1.9.1 through 1.9.1-430, 1.9.2 through 1.9.2-136, and 1.9.3dev allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
CVE-2011-2705 1 Ruby-lang 1 Ruby 2012-01-18 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-2011-0188 2 Apple, Ruby-lang 3 Mac Os X, Mac Os X Server, Ruby 2011-08-23 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
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."
