Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1914-01 - Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to perform system management tasks. Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the way the Ruby REXML XML parser performed expansion of parameter entities. A specially crafted XML document could cause REXML to use an excessive amount of CPU and memory. A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the implementation of the Ruby Array pack() method. When performing base64 encoding, a single byte could be written past the end of the buffer, possibly causing Ruby to crash.

3. Description:

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

Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the way the Ruby REXML XML
parser performed expansion of parameter entities. A specially crafted XML
document could cause REXML to use an excessive amount of CPU and memory.
(CVE-2014-8080, CVE-2014-8090)

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the implementation of the Ruby
Array pack() method. When performing base64 encoding, a single byte could
be written past the end of the buffer, possibly causing Ruby to crash.
(CVE-2014-4975)

The CVE-2014-8090 issue was discovered by Red Hat Product Security.

All ruby200-ruby users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running
instances of Ruby need to be restarted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the
Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1118158 - CVE-2014-4975 ruby: off-by-one stack-based buffer overflow in the encodes() function
1157709 - CVE-2014-8080 ruby: REXML billion laughs attack via parameter entity expansion
