Ruby · Crack Gem · CVE-2013-1800
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
crack gem versions 0.3.1 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to the improper restriction of casts of string values, which could allow remote attackers to conduct object-injection attacks, execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service by consuming memory and CPU.
