Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202107-25
==========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2021-07-14
CVE-ID : CVE-2021-31799 CVE-2021-31810 CVE-2021-32066
Package : ruby2.6
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2140
Summary
=======
The package ruby2.6 before version 2.6.8-1 is vulnerable to multiple
issues including silent downgrade, arbitrary command execution and
information disclosure.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 2.6.8-1.
# pacman -Syu "ruby2.6>=2.6.8-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.6.8.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
- CVE-2021-31799 (arbitrary command execution)
RDoc before version 6.3.1, as bundled with Ruby before version 2.7.4
and 2.6.8 as well as GitLab before version 14.0.2, used to call
Kernel#open to open a local file. If a Ruby project has a file whose
name starts with "|" and ends with "tags", the command following the
pipe character is executed. A malicious Ruby project could exploit it
to run an arbitrary command execution against a user who attempts to
run the rdoc command.
- CVE-2021-31810 (information disclosure)
A security issue has been discovered in Ruby before versions 3.0.2,
2.7.4 and 2.6.8. A malicious FTP server can use the PASV response to
trick Net::FTP into connecting back to a given IP address and port.
This potentially makes Net::FTP extract information about services that
are otherwise private and not disclosed (e.g., the attacker can conduct
port scans and service banner extractions).
- CVE-2021-32066 (silent downgrade)
A security issue has been discovered in Ruby before versions 3.0.2,
2.7.4 and 2.6.8. Net::IMAP does not raise an exception when StartTLS
fails with an unknown response, which might allow man-in-the-middle
attackers to bypass the TLS protections by leveraging a network
position between the client and the registry to block the StartTLS
command, aka a “StartTLS stripping attack”.
Impact
======
A remote man-in-the-middle attacker could strip StartTLS encryption
from IMAP connections to disclose authentication credentials and
emails. Furthermore, a malicious FTP server could induce connections to
an arbitrary IP address and port on a client, leading to potential
information disclosure.
