CVE-2020-10933

Public on 2020-05-04
Modified on 2024-02-07
Description

An issue was discovered in Ruby 2.5.x through 2.5.7, 2.6.x through 2.6.5, and 2.7.0. If a victim calls BasicSocket#read_nonblock(requested_size, buffer, exception: false), the method resizes the buffer to fit the requested size, but no data is copied. Thus, the buffer string provides the previous value of the heap. This may expose possibly sensitive data from the interpreter.

Ruby shipped in the Amazon Linux 2 core repository is not affected by this issue.
