CVE-2008-2663

HIGH 10.0EPSS 4.46%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.46%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Multiple integer overflows in the rb_ary_store function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, and 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unknown vectors, a different issue than CVE-2008-2662, CVE-2008-2664, and CVE-2008-2725. NOTE: as of 20080624, there has been inconsistent usage of multiple CVE identifiers related to Ruby. The CVE description should be regarded as authoritative, although it is likely to change.
