Description Robert Frohl 2018-10-19 09:11:19 UTC
CVE-2018-16396
Array#pack method converts the receiver’s contents into a string with specified format. If the receiver contains some tainted objects, the returned string also should be tainted. String#unpack method which converts the receiver into an array also should propagate its tainted flag to the objects contained in the returned array. But, with B, b, H and h directives, the tainted flags are not propagated. So, if a script processes unreliable inputs by Array#pack and/or String#unpack with these directives and checks the reliability with tainted flags, the check might be wrong.

Comment 1 Robert Frohl 2018-10-19 11:28:01 UTC
Hi Marcus,
my review suggest that the following codestreams are affected:
- SUSE:SLE-15:Update/ruby
- SUSE:SLE-12:Update/ruby
- SUSE:SLE-12:Update/ruby2.1

It looks like the following are not affected:
- SUSE:SLE-11-SP2:Update/ruby19
- SUSE:SLE-11-SP1:Update/ruby

I had to search for the patch [0] in the upstream git history, even though I am convinced that this is the correct fix it might be a good idea to verify that I did not miss any additional commits.
