An issue was discovered in RubyGems. The gem owner command outputs the contents of the API response directly to stdout. Therefore, if the response is crafted, escape sequence injection may occur.(CVE-2019-8322)

An issue was discovered in RubyGems.
Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.(CVE-2019-8323)

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

A Directory Traversal issue was discovered in RubyGems. Before making new directories or touching files (which now include path-checking code for symlinks), it would delete the target destination. If that destination was hidden behind a symlink, a malicious gem could delete arbitrary files on the user's machine, presuming the attacker could guess at paths. Given how frequently gem is run as sudo, and how predictable paths are on modern systems (/tmp, /usr, etc.), this could likely lead to data loss or an unusable system.(CVE-2019-8320)

An issue was discovered in RubyGems. A crafted gem with a multi-line name is not handled correctly. Therefore, an attacker could inject arbitrary code to the stub line of gemspec, which is eval-ed by code in ensure_loadable_spec during the preinstall check.(CVE-2019-8324)

According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in the OpenSSL library in Ruby     before 2.3.8, 2.4.x before 2.4.5, 2.5.x before 2.5.2,     and 2.6.x before 2.6.0-preview3. When two     OpenSSL::X509::Name objects are compared using ==,     depending on the ordering, non-equal objects may return     true. When the first argument is one character longer     than the second, or the second argument contains a     character that is one less than a character in the same     position of the first argument, the result of == will     be true. This could be leveraged to create an     illegitimate certificate that may be accepted as     legitimate and then used in signing or encryption     operations.(CVE-2018-16395)

  - An issue was discovered in Ruby before 2.3.8, 2.4.x     before 2.4.5, 2.5.x before 2.5.2, and 2.6.x before     2.6.0-preview3. It does not taint strings that result     from unpacking tainted strings with some     formats.(CVE-2018-16396)

An update for ruby is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to perform system management tasks.

Security Fix(es) :

* rubygems: Installing a malicious gem may lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2019-8324)

* rubygems: Escape sequence injection vulnerability in gem owner (CVE-2019-8322)

* rubygems: Escape sequence injection vulnerability in API response handling (CVE-2019-8323)

* rubygems: Escape sequence injection vulnerability in errors (CVE-2019-8325)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in jruby, Java implementation of the Ruby programming language.

CVE-2018-1000074

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

CVE-2018-1000075

an infinite loop caused by negative size vulnerability in ruby gem package tar header that can result in a negative size could cause an infinite loop

CVE-2018-1000076

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature vulnerability in package.rb that can result in a mis-signed gem could be installed, as the tarball would contain multiple gem signatures.

CVE-2018-1000077

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in ruby gems specification homepage attribute that can result in a malicious gem could set an invalid homepage URL

CVE-2018-1000078

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in gem server display of homepage attribute that can result in XSS. This attack appear to be exploitable via the victim must browse to a malicious gem on a vulnerable gem server

CVE-2019-8321

Gem::UserInteraction#verbose calls say without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible

CVE-2019-8322

The gem owner command outputs the contents of the API response directly to stdout. Therefore, if the response is crafted, escape sequence injection may occur

CVE-2019-8323

Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.

CVE-2019-8324

A crafted gem with a multi-line name is not handled correctly.
Therefore, an attacker could inject arbitrary code to the stub line of gemspec

CVE-2019-8325

Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.6-9+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jruby packages.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Rubygems included in the interpreter for the Ruby language, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in rubygems embedded in ruby2.1, the interpreted scripting language.

CVE-2019-8320

A Directory Traversal issue was discovered in RubyGems. Before making new directories or touching files (which now include path-checking code for symlinks), it would delete the target destination.

CVE-2019-8322

The gem owner command outputs the contents of the API response directly to stdout. Therefore, if the response is crafted, escape sequence injection may occur.

CVE-2019-8323

Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.

CVE-2019-8324

A crafted gem with a multi-line name is not handled correctly.
Therefore, an attacker could inject arbitrary code to the stub line of gemspec, which is eval-ed by code in ensure_loadable_spec during the preinstall check.

CVE-2019-8325

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.5-2+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.1 packages.
