Technical details
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the CRuby native extension when Node#[]= or Node#lang= methods replace existing attribute values. The vulnerability occurs when child nodes of an attribute have been accessed and wrapped—replacing the attribute value frees the native nodes while Ruby wrappers remain reachable, allowing subsequent access to trigger invalid reads or segmentation faults. JRuby implementations are not affected.
