Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10933)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to BasicSocket#read_nonblock method outputs previous value of the heap instead of copying the requested data. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information on the system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10663)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The JSON gem through 2.2.0 for Ruby, as used in Ruby 2.4 through 2.4.9, 2.5 through 2.5.7, and 2.6 through 2.6.5, has an Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability. This is quite similar to CVE-2013-0269, but does not rely on poor garbage-collection behavior within Ruby. Specifically, use of JSON parsing methods can lead to creation of a malicious object within the interpreter, with adverse effects that are application-dependent.
