NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-ruby24-rubygem-bigdecimal package and not the rh-ruby24-rubygem-bigdecimal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The parser_yyerror function in the UTF-8 parser in Ruby 2.4.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write or read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Ruby script, related to the parser_tokadd_utf8 function in parse.y. NOTE: this might have security relevance as a bypass of a $SAFE protection mechanism.
