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-2008-3657/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3657/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3657","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3657/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3657","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5f6v-fgcw-j5px"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby standard library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The Ruby DL module fails to check input taintness, allowing attackers to bypass safe levels and execute dangerous functions via DL.dlopen.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ruby","vendor":"ruby-lang"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The dl module in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71, and 1.9 through r18423 does not check \"taintness\" of inputs, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe levels and execute dangerous functions by accessing a library using DL.dlopen.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-08-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-08-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32223","stars":null,"title":"Ruby 1.9 dl - Module DL.dlopen Arbitrary Library Access"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3657","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ruby-lang:ruby","products":["ruby-lang:ruby"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":30,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3658"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3656"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4124","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28738","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in OpenSSL extension of Ruby (Git trunk)","id":"CVE-2011-4121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17790","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Ruby","id":"CVE-2016-2336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Ruby","id":"CVE-2016-2337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"The Ruby DL module fails to check input taintness, allowing attackers to bypass safe levels and execute dangerous functions via DL.dlopen.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3657/"}
