A Gem publisher can cause a Remote DoS when publishing a Gem. This is due to how Ruby reads the Manifest of Gem files when using Gem::Specification.from_yaml. from_yaml makes use of SafeYAML.load which allows YAML aliases inside the YAML-based metadata of a gem. YAML aliases allow for Denial of Service attacks with so-called `YAML-bombs` (comparable to Billion laughs attacks). This was patched. There is is no action required by users. This issue is also tracked as GHSL-2024-001 and was discovered by the GitHub security lab." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption", "cweId": "CWE-400" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "rubygems", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "rubygems.org", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "< 2024-04-12" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/security/advisories/GHSA-4vc5-whwr-7hh2", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/security/advisories/GHSA-4vc5-whwr-7hh2" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack" }, { "url": "https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/7cf74a2ff28b1b4c26e367d0d67521f7e1fed239/lib/rubygems/safe_yaml.rb#L28", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/7cf74a2ff28b1b4c26e367d0d67521f7e1fed239/lib/rubygems/safe_yaml.rb#L28" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-4vc5-whwr-7hh2", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" }, "impact": { "cvss": [ { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "LOW", "baseScore": 4.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L", "version": "3.1" } ] } }
