CVE-2017-14033

El método decode en el módulo OpenSSL::ASN1 en Ruby en versiones anteriores a la 2.2.8, versiones 2.3.x anteriores a 2.3.5, y 2.4.x hasta la 2.4.1 permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del intérprete) mediante una string manipulada.

It was found that the decode method of the OpenSSL::ASN1 module was vulnerable to buffer underrun. An attacker could pass a specially crafted string to the application in order to crash the ruby interpreter, causing a denial of service.

Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to perform system management tasks. Security Fix: It was discovered that the Net::FTP module did not properly process filenames in combination with certain operations. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands by setting up a malicious FTP server and tricking a user or Ruby application into downloading files with specially crafted names using the Net::FTP module.
