Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for ruby4.0.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:20606 advisory.

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight- forward, and extensible.

Security Fix(es):

* ruby/json: Ruby JSON: Denial of Service or Information Disclosure via format string injection (CVE-2026-33210)

* erb: ERB: Arbitrary code execution via deserialization bypass (CVE-2026-41316)

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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL ruby4.0 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2026:20606.
