NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mruby package and not the mruby package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In versions of mruby up to and including 1.4.0, an integer overflow exists in src/vm.c::mrb_vm_exec() when handling OP_GETUPVAR in the presence of deep scope nesting, resulting in a use-after-free. An attacker that can cause Ruby code to be run can use this to possibly execute arbitrary code.
