Last modified

CVE-2008-2376 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the rb_ary_fill function in array.c in Ruby before revision 17756 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a call to the Array#fill method with a start (aka beg) argument greater than ARY_MAX_SIZE. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for other closely related integer overflows.. EPSS estimates a 3.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
