An issue was discovered in StringIO 3.0.1, as distributed in Ruby 3.0.x through 3.0.6 and 3.1.x through 3.1.4.
The ungetbyte
and ungetc
methods on a StringIO can read past the end of a string, and a subsequent call to StringIO.gets
may return the memory value.
This vulnerability is not affected StringIO 3.0.3 and later, and Ruby 3.2.x and later.
We recommend to update the StringIO gem to version 3.0.3 or later. In order to ensure compatibility with bundled version in older Ruby series, you may update as follows instead:
stringio
3.0.1.1stringio
3.1.0.2You can use gem update stringio
to update it. If you are using bundler, please add gem "stringio", ">= 3.0.1.2"
to your Gemfile
.
