CVE-2009-5147

Published: 29 March 2017

DL::dlopen in Ruby 1.8, 1.9.0, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 before patchlevel 648, and 2.1 before 2.1.8 opens libraries with tainted names.

Notes

The Debian triage mentions two points, first that the upstream fix
has been dropped from upstream for unknown reasons; second, Fiddle in
Ruby 2.2 has the same problem.
MITRE hasn't (yet?) assigned a CVE for
7269e3de3cee3bbb6ab77fc708f3a10cab00b65e but that may be for their own
reasons.

DL was removed in 2.2
This is the same issue as CVE-2015-7551, except only for 1.9.1

Priority

Low

CVSS 3 base score: 7.3
