AlmaLinux 8 : ruby:2.5 (ALSA-2022:0545)

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALSA-2022:0545 advisory.

– Bundler 1.16.0 through 2.2.9 and 2.2.11 through 2.2.16 sometimes chooses a dependency source based on the highest gem version number, which means that a rogue gem found at a public source may be chosen, even if the intended choice was a private gem that is a dependency of another private gem that is explicitly depended on by the application. NOTE: it is not correct to use CVE-2021-24105 for every Dependency Confusion issue in every product. (CVE-2020-36327)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.Read More
