Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to ruby.

Description

The version of ruby installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.5 / 3.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2022-328-01 advisory.

- The cgi gem before 0.1.0.2, 0.2.x before 0.2.2, and 0.3.x before 0.3.5 for Ruby allows HTTP response splitting. This is relevant to applications that use untrusted user input either to generate an HTTP response or to create a CGI::Cookie object. (CVE-2021-33621)

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected ruby package.
