Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Ruby versions prior to revision 17756

Description: The issue is related to an integer overflow in the rb ary fill function, which can be triggered by calling the Array#fill method with a start argument greater than ARY MAX SIZE. This can lead to a denial of service (crash) or possibly have other unspecified impacts. The problem exists due to an incomplete fix for other closely related integer overflows.

Recommendations: For Ruby versions prior to revision 17756, update to revision 17756 or later to resolve the issue.
