No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2662/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2662/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2662","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2662/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2662","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6wwf-x53r-5qqq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby programming language","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Integer overflows in Ruby's string buffer function allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via memory corruption.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"ruby","vendor":"ruby-lang"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-189","name":null}],"description":"Multiple integer overflows in the rb_str_buf_append function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that trigger memory corruption, a different issue than CVE-2008-2663, CVE-2008-2664, and CVE-2008-2725.
