Category:	Gain a shell remotely
Title:	Distributed Ruby (dRuby/DRb) Multiple RCE Vulnerabilities
Summary:	Systems using Distributed Ruby (dRuby/DRb), which is available in Ruby versions 1.6; and later, may permit unauthorized systems to execute distributed commands.
Description:	Summary: Systems using Distributed Ruby (dRuby/DRb), which is available in Ruby versions 1.6 and later, may permit unauthorized systems to execute distributed commands. Vulnerability Impact: By default, Distributed Ruby does not impose restrictions on allowed hosts or set the $SAFE environment variable to prevent privileged activities. If other controls are not in place, especially if the Distributed Ruby process runs with elevated privileges, an attacker could execute arbitrary system commands or Ruby scripts on the Distributed Ruby server. An attacker may need to know only the URI of the listening Distributed Ruby server to submit Ruby commands. Solution: Administrators of environments that rely on Distributed Ruby should ensure that appropriate controls are in place. Code-level controls may include: - Implementing taint on untrusted input - Setting $SAFE levels appropriately (>=2 is recommended if untrusted hosts are allowed to submit Ruby commands, and >=3 may be appropriate) - Including drb/acl.rb to set ACLEntry to restrict access to trusted hosts CVSS Score: 10.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
