Amazon Linux 2 : ruby (ALAS-2019-1249)

high Nessus Plugin ID 126961

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. 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 2.6 and later through 3.0.2.
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 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.) (CVE-2019-8325)

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. 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)

Solution

Run 'yum update ruby' to update your system.
