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-2014-3916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-3916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3916/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-3916","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-252h-69rw-g2rp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby programming language","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via a segmentation fault in Ruby's string handling by providing a long string.","user_interaction":"unknown","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-19","name":null}],"description":"The str_buf_cat function in string.c in Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, and 2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a long string.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3916","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"rubyonrails:rails","products":["rubyonrails:rails"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3917"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3915"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-11-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Active Record contains deserialization of arbitrary YAML","id":"CVE-2013-0277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-13"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-29"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-29"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Rails Active Storage has possible Path Traversal in DiskService","id":"CVE-2026-33195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Rails possible ReDoS vulnerability in Accept header parsing in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2024-26142","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2023-22792","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of Service in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2021-22902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-11"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via a segmentation fault in Ruby's string handling by providing a long string.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3916/"}
