A ruby-json security update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS.



DLA 2190-1: ruby-json security update



Package : ruby-json
Version : 1.8.1-1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2020-10663

In ruby-json before 2.3.0, there is an unsafe object creation
vulnerability. When parsing certain JSON documents, the json
gem (including the one bundled with Ruby) can be coerced into
creating arbitrary objects in the target system.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.8.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-json packages.
