The openssl gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The openssl gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is     set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption     protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-7798)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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 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)

RubyGems DNS request hijacking vulnerability.

CVE-2017-0903

Max Justicz reported that RubyGems is prone to an unsafe object deserialization vulnerability. When parsed by an application which processes gems, a specially crafted YAML formatted gem specification can lead to remote code execution.

CVE-2017-10784

Yusuke Endoh discovered an escape sequence injection vulnerability in the Basic authentication of WEBrick. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to inject malicious escape sequences to the WEBrick log and potentially execute control characters on the victim's terminal emulator when reading logs.

CVE-2017-14033

asac reported a buffer underrun vulnerability in the OpenSSL extension. A remote attacker could take advantage of this flaw to cause the Ruby interpreter to crash leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2017-14064

Heap memory disclosure in the JSON library.

A command injection vulnerability in Net::FTP might allow a malicious FTP server to execute arbitrary commands.

CVE-2017-17742

Aaron Patterson reported that WEBrick bundled with Ruby was vulnerable to an HTTP response splitting vulnerability. It was possible for an attacker to inject fake HTTP responses if a script accepted an external input and output it without modifications.

CVE-2017-17790

A command injection vulnerability in lib/resolv.rb's lazy_initialze might allow a command injection attack. However untrusted input to this function is rather unlikely.

Eric Wong reported an out-of-memory DoS vulnerability related to a large request in WEBrick bundled with Ruby.

CVE-2018-8778

aerodudrizzt found a buffer under-read vulnerability in the Ruby String#unpack method. If a big number was passed with the specifier @, the number was treated as a negative value, and an out-of-buffer read occurred. Attackers could read data on heaps if an script accepts an external input as the argument of String#unpack.

CVE-2018-8779

ooooooo_q reported that the UNIXServer.open and UNIXSocket.open methods of the socket library bundled with Ruby did not check for NUL bytes in the path argument. The lack of check made the methods vulnerable to unintentional socket creation and unintentional socket access.

CVE-2018-8780

ooooooo_q discovered an unintentional directory traversal in some methods in Dir, by the lack of checking for NUL bytes in their parameter.

CVE-2018-1000075

A negative size vulnerability in ruby gem package tar header that could cause an infinite loop.

CVE-2018-1000076

RubyGems package improperly verifies cryptographic signatures. A mis-signed gem could be installed if the tarball contains multiple gem signatures.

CVE-2018-1000077

An improper input validation vulnerability in RubyGems specification homepage attribute could allow malicious gem to set an invalid homepage URL.

CVE-2018-1000078

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in gem server display of homepage attribute.

CVE-2018-1000079

Path Traversal vulnerability during gem installation.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.5-2+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.1 packages.

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.

IV Reuse in GCM Mode :

The openssl gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-7798)

Fix IV Reuse in GCM Mode.
