    extlib does not properly restrict casts of string values

    CVE-2013-1802 · GHSA-9h36-4jf2-hx53

    Affected
    • RubyGems extlib < 0.9.16
    Fixed in
    0.9.16· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    The extlib gem 0.9.15 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 0.9.16 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
