debian lts
Calendar Grey March 10, 2025
Dist Debian Esm H88
Essential enhancements for ruby2.7 address multiple security issues, including Denial of Service vulnerabilities and authentication exposure.
Ruby a popular language was affected by multiple vulnerabilities CVE-2025-27219

Summary

CVE-2025-27219

In the CGI gem, the CGI::Cookie.parse method in the CGI library
contains a potential Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability.
The method does not impose any limit on the length of the raw cookie
value it processes. This oversight can lead to excessive
resource consumption when parsing extremely large cookies

CVE-2025-27220

In the CGI gem, a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
vulnerability exists in the Util#escapeElement method.

CVE-2025-27221

In the URI gem, the URI handling methods
(URI.join, URI#merge, URI#+) have an inadvertent leakage of
authentication credentials because userinfo is retained
even after changing the host.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
2.7.4-1+deb11u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.7 packages.

For the detailed security status of ruby2.7 please refer to
