Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2019-15845   CVE-2019-16201   CVE-2019-16254   CVE-2019-16255   CVE-2021-41819  

A flaw was discovered in Ruby in the way certain functions handled strings containing NULL bytes. Specifically, the built-in methods File.fnmatch and its alias File.fnmatch? did not properly handle path patterns containing the NULL byte. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to make a Ruby script access unexpected files and to bypass intended file system access restrictions. (CVE-2019-15845) WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth in Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 has a regular expression Denial of Service cause by looping/backtracking. A victim must expose a WEBrick server that uses DigestAuth to the Internet or a untrusted network. (CVE-2019-16201) 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) Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows code injection if the first argument (aka the "command" argument) to Shell#[] or Shell#test in lib/shell.rb is untrusted data. An attacker can exploit this to call an arbitrary Ruby method. (CVE-2019-16255) CGI::Cookie.parse in Ruby through 2.6.8 mishandles security prefixes in cookie names. This also affects the CGI gem through 0.3.0 for Ruby. (CVE-2021-41819)
