CVE-2019-16255 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.1 ruby2.5 to version 2.5.7-4.8.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby2.5 package and not the ruby2.5 package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
