GSD-2015-5147

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2015-06-22 00:00
Details
redcarpet Gem for Ruby contains a flaw that allows a stack overflow. This flaw exists because the header_anchor() function in html.c uses variable length arrays (VLA) without any range checking. This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
