CWE-20

Description

Ruby (aka CRuby) before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table.

Affected configurations

• ruby-lang ruby (<= 1.8.7-p352) • ruby-lang ruby 1.8.7-p299 • ruby-lang ruby 1.8.7-p302 • ruby-lang ruby 1.8.7-p330 • ruby-lang ruby 1.8.7-p334
