NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.4-default-gems package and not the ruby3.4-default-gems package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The VpMemAlloc function in bigdecimal.c in the BigDecimal class in Ruby 1.9.2-p136 and earlier, as used on Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 and other platforms, does not properly allocate memory, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving creation of a large BigDecimal value within a 64-bit process, related to an "integer truncation issue."
