Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - MessagePack for Ruby is an implementation of the MessagePack binary serialization format. Prior to 1.8.2,
 MessagePack::Buffer#clear in ext/msgpack/buffer.c leaves rmem_last, rmem_end, and rmem_owner stale after
 _msgpack_buffer_shift_chunk returns an rmem page to the shared pool, allowing a subsequent Buffer#write
 and a second MessagePack::Buffer to alias the page and disclose or corrupt cross-buffer data. This issue
 is fixed in version 1.8.2. (CVE-2026-54522)

Solution

Update the msgpack library and its related packages to version 1.8.2 or later.
