According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later     through 3.0.2. Since Gem::UserInteraction#verbose calls     say without escaping, escape sequence injection is     possible.(CVE-2019-8321)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in     Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP     through 7.1.5. A SIGSEGV occurs in     left_adjust_char_head() during regular expression     compilation. Invalid handling of reg->dmax in     forward_search_range() could result in an invalid     pointer dereference, normally as an immediate     denial-of-service condition.(CVE-2017-9229)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in     Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP     through 7.1.5. A stack out-of-bounds read occurs in     mbc_enc_len() during regular expression searching.
    Invalid handling of reg->dmin in forward_search_range()     could result in an invalid pointer dereference, as an     out-of-bounds read from a stack buffer.(CVE-2017-9227)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in     Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP     through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write occurs in     bitset_set_range() during regular expression     compilation due to an uninitialized variable from an     incorrect state transition. An incorrect state     transition in parse_char_class() could create an     execution path that leaves a critical local variable     uninitialized until it's used as an index, resulting in     an out-of-bounds write memory     corruption.(CVE-2017-9228)

  - An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in     Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP     through 7.1.5. A stack out-of-bounds read occurs in     match_at() during regular expression searching. A     logical error involving order of validation and access     in match_at() could result in an out-of-bounds read     from a stack buffer.(CVE-2017-9224)

  - A SMTP command injection flaw was found in the way     Ruby's Net::SMTP module handled CRLF sequences in     certain SMTP commands. An attacker could potentially     use this flaw to inject SMTP commands in a SMTP session     in order to facilitate phishing attacks or spam     campaigns.(CVE-2015-9096)

  - Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition     (such as can be found in PKCS7) could eventually exceed     the stack given malicious input with excessive     recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service     attack. There are no such structures used within     SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources so this is     considered safe. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0h (Affected     1.1.0-1.1.0g). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2o (Affected     1.0.2b-1.0.2n).(CVE-2016-7798)

This attack     appear to be exploitable via the victim must browse to     a malicious gem on a vulnerable gem server. This     vulnerability appears to have been fixed in     2.7.6.(CVE-2018-1000078)

  - RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier,     Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series:
    2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier,     prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a Improper Input     Validation vulnerability in ruby gems specification     homepage attribute that can result in a malicious gem     could set an invalid homepage URL. This vulnerability     appears to have been fixed in 2.7.6.(CVE-2018-1000077)

  - RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier,     Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series:
    2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier,     prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a     Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in     owner command that can result in code execution. This     attack appear to be exploitable via victim must run the     `gem owner` command on a gem with a specially crafted     YAML file. This vulnerability appears to have been     fixed in 2.7.6.(CVE-2018-1000074)

  - RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier,     Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series:
    2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier,     prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a Directory     Traversal vulnerability in install_location function of     package.rb that can result in path traversal when     writing to a symlinked basedir outside of the root.
    This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in     2.7.6.(CVE-2018-1000073)

  - Ruby before 2.2.10, 2.3.x before 2.3.7, 2.4.x before     2.4.4, 2.5.x before 2.5.1, and 2.6.0-preview1 allows an     HTTP Response Splitting attack. An attacker can inject     a crafted key and value into an HTTP response for the     HTTP server of WEBrick.(CVE-2017-17742)

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x     through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a     program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the     response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a     newline character to split a header, and inject     malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue     exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742,     which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an     isolated CR or an isolated LF.(CVE-2019-16254)

(CVE-2017-14033)

No size limit in summary length of gem spec

RubyGems is vulnerable to maliciously crafted gem specifications to cause a denial of service attack against RubyGems clients who have issued a `query` command. (CVE-2017-0900)

Arbitrary file overwrite due to incorrect validation of specification name

RubyGems fails to validate specification names, allowing a maliciously crafted gem to potentially overwrite any file on the filesystem.
(CVE-2017-0901)

DNS hijacking vulnerability

RubyGems is vulnerable to a DNS hijacking vulnerability that allows a MITM attacker to force the RubyGems client to download and install gems from a server that the attacker controls. (CVE-2017-0902)

Buffer underrun vulnerability in Kernel.sprintf

Ruby is vulnerable to a malicious format string which contains a precious specifier (*) with a huge minus value. Such situation can lead to a buffer overrun, resulting in a heap memory corruption or an information disclosure from the heap. (CVE-2017-0898)

Escape sequence in the 'summary' field of gemspec

RubyGems is vulnerable to maliciously crafted gem specifications that include terminal escape characters. Printing the gem specification would execute terminal escape sequences. (CVE-2017-0899)

Arbitrary heap exposure during a JSON.generate call

Ruby can expose arbitrary memory during a JSON.generate call. The issues lies in using strdup in ext/json/ext/generator/generator.c, which will stop after encountering a '\\0' byte, returning a pointer to a string of length zero, which is not the length stored in space_len. (CVE-2017-14064)

A vulnerability was found where the rubygems module was vulnerable to an unsafe YAML deserialization when inspecting a gem. Applications inspecting gem files without installing them can be tricked to execute arbitrary code in the context of the ruby interpreter. (CVE-2017-0903)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the interpreter for the Ruby language :

  - CVE-2015-9096     SMTP command injection in Net::SMTP.

  - CVE-2016-7798     Incorrect handling of initialization vector in the GCM     mode in the OpenSSL extension.

  - CVE-2017-0900     Denial of service in the RubyGems client.

  - CVE-2017-0901     Potential file overwrite in the RubyGems client.

  - CVE-2017-0902     DNS hijacking in the RubyGems client.

  - CVE-2017-14064     Heap memory disclosure in the JSON library.

- Update to Ruby 2.3.4.

  - Fix SMTP command injection via CRLF sequences in RCPT TO     or MAIL FROM commands in Net::SMTP (CVE-2015-9096).

It was discovered that Ruby DL::dlopen incorrectly handled opening libraries. An attacker could possibly use this issue to open libraries with tainted names. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2009-5147)

Tony Arcieri, Jeffrey Walton, and Steffan Ullrich discovered that the Ruby OpenSSL extension incorrectly handled hostname wildcard matching.
This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-1855)

Christian Hofstaedtler discovered that Ruby Fiddle::Handle incorrectly handled certain crafted strings. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7551)

It was discovered that Ruby Net::SMTP incorrectly handled CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject SMTP commands. (CVE-2015-9096)

Marcin Noga discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain arguments in a TclTkIp class method. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-2337)

It was discovered that Ruby Fiddle::Function.new incorrectly handled certain arguments. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-2339)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled the initialization vector (IV) in GCM mode. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass encryption. (CVE-2016-7798).
