Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2017-12-15 07:29:07 UTC 
There is a command injection vulnerability in Net::FTP bundled with Ruby. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2017-17405.
Details

Net::FTP#get, getbinaryfile, gettextfile, put, putbinaryfile, and puttextfile use Kernel#open to open a local file. If the localfile argument starts with the pipe character "|", the command following the pipe character is executed. The default value of localfile is File.basename(remotefile), so malicious FTP servers could cause arbitrary command execution.

All users running an affected release should upgrade immediately.

Affected Versions

    Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.8 and earlier
    Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.5 and earlier
    Ruby 2.4 series: 2.4.2 and earlier

Comment 2 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2017-12-15 07:37:53 UTC 
Since 2.2.9 only contains the single fix to Net::FTP we can proceed with stabling right away.
