Issue #19178 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). >But your way of updating "json" as a normal gem over the default gem means that whenever ruby is used with --disable-gems then the updated version is not used and thus a CVE could still be exposed. `--disable-gems` is only development option for debugging the Ruby binary. Do not use it for application or software development. ---------------------------------------- Misc #19178: How does CRuby handle CVE issues in stdlib gems which get patched? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19178#change-100475 * Author: Segaja (Andreas Schleifer) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- If there is a CVE issue in one of the stdlibs ( https://stdgems.org/ ) which gets patched, what is CRubys approach on how to push this critical fix to the users? As far as I know stdlibs get only updated for the users if CRuby releases a new version. So will CRuby always release a new version if there is a critical fix an stdlib "needs" to be updated? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/postorius/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
