CVE-2009-5147

Published: 29 March 2017

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.

Notes

AuthorNote
seth-arnold
The Debian triage mentions two points, first that the upstream fix
has been dropped from upstream for unknown reasons; second, Fiddle in
Ruby 2.2 has the same problem.
MITRE hasn't (yet?) assigned a CVE for
7269e3de3cee3bbb6ab77fc708f3a10cab00b65e but that may be for their own
reasons.

DL was removed in 2.2
This is the same issue as CVE-2015-7551, except only for 1.9.1
