The `io_buffer_validate_range` function assumes that `offset+length` never wraps around, allowing an attacker to bypass bounds checking with a carefully chosen large offset value. When the sum overflows, it appears to be within bounds while the actual destination pointer underflows. Subsequent operations (write/read copies) use this wrapped offset without further validation, enabling out-of-bounds memory access directly from Ruby code. https://hackerone.com/reports/3437743#activity-38521790 > We decided to fix this as a regular bug since `IO::Buffer` is experimental. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/15599 -- 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/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
