NVD Description

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

The Fiddle::Handle implementation in ext/fiddle/handle.c in Ruby before 2.0.0-p648, 2.1 before 2.1.8, and 2.2 before 2.2.4, as distributed in Apple OS X before 10.11.4 and other products, mishandles tainting, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted string, related to the DL module and the libffi library. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-5147 regression.
