NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mruby package and not the mruby package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The mark_context_stack function in gc.c in mruby through 1.2.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .rb file.
