According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in     the Fiddle::Function.new 'initialize' function     functionality of Ruby. In Fiddle::Function.new     'initialize' heap buffer 'arg_types' allocation is made     based on args array length. Specially constructed     object passed as element of args array can increase     this array size after mentioned allocation and cause     heap overflow.(CVE-2016-2339)

  - Type confusion exists in _cancel_eval Ruby's TclTkIp     class method. Attacker passing different type of object     than String as 'retval' argument can cause arbitrary     code execution.(CVE-2016-2337)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - ruby: Command injection vulnerability in Net::FTP (CVE-2017-17405)

  - ruby: OpenSSL::X509::Name equality check does not work correctly (CVE-2018-16395)

  - DL::dlopen in Ruby 1.8, 1.9.0, 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0 before patchlevel 648, and 2.1 before 2.1.8 opens     libraries with tainted names. (CVE-2009-5147)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3365-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Ruby DL::dlopen incorrectly handled opening libraries. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to open libraries with tainted names. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2009-5147)

    Tony Arcieri, Jeffrey Walton, and Steffan Ullrich discovered that the Ruby OpenSSL extension incorrectly     handled hostname wildcard matching. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-1855)

    Christian Hofstaedtler discovered that Ruby Fiddle::Handle incorrectly handled certain crafted strings. An     attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue     only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-7551)

    It was discovered that Ruby Net::SMTP incorrectly handled CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to inject SMTP commands. (CVE-2015-9096)

    Marcin Noga discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain arguments in a TclTkIp class method. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04     LTS. (CVE-2016-2337)

    It was discovered that Ruby Fiddle::Function.new incorrectly handled certain arguments. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2016-2339)

    It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled the initialization vector (IV) in GCM mode. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to bypass encryption. (CVE-2016-7798)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

According to the versions of the ruby packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
