Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Jul 26, 2026
Local heap-based buffer overflow in mruby compiler (codegen.c) through version 3.4.0-rc2 allows low-privileged local attackers to cause denial of service. The flaw resides in the scope_new function where missing initialization of the nregs variable leads to heap corruption when processing a crafted Ruby script. Public exploit code is available, though no active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed.
