Summary
ruby2.7, ruby3.0, ruby3.1, ruby3.2 vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that Ruby RDoc incorrectly parsed certain YAML files. If a user or automated system were tricked into parsing a specially crafted .rdoc_options file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-27281)

It was discovered that the Ruby regex compiler incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive memory contents. (CVE-2024-27282)
