Description

Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows code injection if the first argument (aka the "command" argument) to Shell#[] or Shell#test in lib/shell.rb is untrusted data. An attacker can exploit this to call an arbitrary Ruby method.

Solution(s)

  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp3-upgrade-ruby
  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp3-upgrade-ruby-irb
  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp3-upgrade-ruby-libs
