Vulnerability Details

Technical details and impact analysis

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
We can arrange for C to call `Object#send` by aliasing it over `initialize`. This will cause `Class#new` (a C function) to call `#initialize` (which is actually `Object#send`) with arbitrary arguments. If we invoke a Ruby method through `Object#send`, mruby segfaults: ``` def foo end class X alias_method :initialize, :send end X.new.send(:foo) ```
