1) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48338)

The vulnerability allows a malicious gem to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the ruby-find-library-file() function. A malicious Ruby source file can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40303)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in parse.c when processing content when XML_PARSE_HUGE is set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40304)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in entities.c due to the way libxml2 handles reference cycles. The library does not anticipate that entity content can be allocated from a dict and clears it upon reference cycle detection by setting its first byte to zero. This can lead to memory corruption  issues, such as double free errors and result in a denial of service.


4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.


5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).


6) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41973)
