crack does not properly restrict casts of string values
CVE-2013-1800 · GHSA-m7fq-cf8q-35q7
- Affected
- RubyGems crack < 0.3.2
- Fixed in
- 0.3.2· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- The crack gem 0.3.1 and earlier for Ruby does not properly restrict casts of string values, which might allow remote attackers to conduct object-injection attacks and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) by leveraging Action Pack support for (1) YAML type conversion or (2) Symbol type conversion, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2013-0156.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.3.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
