Vulnerability Details
Summary "Concurrent::AtomicReference#update" can enter a permanent busy retry loop when the current value is "Float::NAN". The issue is caused by the interaction between: - "AtomicReference#update", which retries until "compare_and_set(old_value, new_value)" succeeds. - Numeric "compare_and_set", which checks "old == old_value" before attempting the underlying atomic swap. - Ruby NaN semantics, where "Float::NAN == Float::NAN" is always "false". As a result, once an "AtomicReference" contains "Float::NAN", calling "#update" repeatedly evaluates the caller's block and never returns. In services that store externally derived numeric values in an "AtomicReference", this can cause CPU exhaustion or permanent request/job hangs. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details "AtomicReference#update" retries until "compare_and_set" returns true: def update true until compare_and_set(old_value = get, new_value = yield(old_value)) new_value end For numeric expected values, "compare_and_set" uses numeric equality before attempting the underlying atomic compare-and-set: def compare_and_set(old_value, new_value) if old_value.kind_of? Numeric while true old = get return false unless old.kind_of? Numeric return false unless old == old_value result = _compare_and_set(old, new_value) return result if result end else _compare_and_set(old_value, new_value) end end When the stored value is "Float::NAN", "old_value = get" returns NaN. The later comparison "old == old_value" is false because NaN is not equal to itself. "compare_and_set" therefore returns false every time. "AtomicReference#update" treats that as a failed concurrent update and retries forever. This is reachable through the public "Concurrent::AtomicReference" API and does not require native extensions or undefined behavior. PoC #!/usr/bin/env ruby frozen_string_literal: true require 'concurrent/atomic/atomic_reference' require 'concurrent/version' puts "ruby=#{RUBY_DESCRIPTION}" puts "concurrent_ruby_version=#{Concurrent::VERSION}" puts "poc=AtomicReference#update livelock when current value is Float::NAN" ref = Concurrent::AtomicReference.new(Float::NAN) attempts = 0 finished = false worker = Thread.new do ref.update do |_old_value| attempts += 1 0.0 end finished = true end sleep 0.25 puts "nan_update_attempts_after_250ms=#{attempts}" puts "nan_update_finished=#{finished}" puts "nan_update_worker_alive=#{worker.alive?}" if worker.alive? && !finished && attempts > 1000 puts 'result=REPRODUCED busy retry loop; update did not complete' else puts 'result=NOT_REPRODUCED' end worker.kill worker.join control = Concurrent::AtomicReference.new(1.0) control_attempts = 0 control_result = control.update do |old_value| control_attempts += 1 old_value + 1.0 end puts "control_update_result=#{control_result.inspect}" puts "control_update_attempts=#{control_attempts}" puts "control_update_final_value=#{control.value.inspect}" Log evidence ruby=ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin25] concurrent_ruby_version=1.3.6 poc=AtomicReference#update livelock when current value is Float::NAN nan_update_attempts_after_250ms=1926016 nan_update_finished=false nan_update_worker_alive=true result=REPRODUCED busy retry loop; update did not complete control_update_result=2.0 control_update_attempts=1 control_update_final_value=2.0 Impact This is an application-level denial of service issue. If an application stores externally derived numeric data in a "Concurrent::AtomicReference", an attacker or faulty upstream data source may be able to cause the stored value to become "Float::NAN". Any later call to "AtomicReference#update" on that reference will spin indefinitely, repeatedly executing the update block and consuming CPU.

Vulnerability Details
Addressable is an alternative implementation to the URI implementation that is part of Ruby's standard library. From 2.3.0 to before 2.9.0, within the URI template implementation in Addressable, two classes of URI template generate regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking. Templates using the * (explode) modifier with any expansion operator (e.g., {foo*}, {+var*}, {#var*}, {/var*}, {.var*}, {;var*}, {?var*}, {&var*}) generate patterns with nested unbounded quantifiers that are O(2^n) when matched against a maliciously crafted URI. Templates using multiple variables with the + or # operators (e.g., {+v1,v2,v3}) generate patterns with O(n^k) complexity due to the comma separator being within the matched character class, causing ambiguous backtracking across k variables. When matched against a maliciously crafted URI, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and uncontrolled resource consumption, leading to denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.9.0.

Vulnerability Details
Summary "Concurrent::ReentrantReadWriteLock" can incorrectly grant a write lock after one thread acquires the read lock 32,768 times. The lock stores a thread's local read and write hold counts in one integer. The low 15 bits are used for the read hold count, and bit 15 is used as "WRITE_LOCK_HELD". After 32,768 reentrant read acquisitions, the local read count crosses into the write-lock bit. "try_write_lock" then treats the thread as already holding a write lock and returns "true" without setting the global "RUNNING_WRITER" bit. This breaks the core mutual-exclusion guarantee: the caller is told it has a write lock, but other threads can still hold or acquire read locks at the same time. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details The implementation uses a shared counter to track global readers/writers and a per-thread local counter to support reentrancy: READER_BITS = 15 WRITER_BITS = 14 WAITING_WRITER = 1 << READER_BITS RUNNING_WRITER = 1 << (READER_BITS + WRITER_BITS) MAX_READERS = WAITING_WRITER - 1 MAX_WRITERS = RUNNING_WRITER - MAX_READERS - 1 WRITE_LOCK_HELD = 1 << READER_BITS READ_LOCK_MASK = WRITE_LOCK_HELD - 1 WRITE_LOCK_MASK = MAX_WRITERS When a thread already holds a lock, "acquire_read_lock" increments "@HeldCount": if (held = @HeldCount.value) > 0 if held & READ_LOCK_MASK == 0 @Counter.update { |c| c + 1 } end @HeldCount.value = held + 1 return true end After 32,768 read acquisitions, the per-thread held count becomes "32768", which is equal to "WRITE_LOCK_HELD". Then "try_write_lock" returns success through its "already have a write lock" branch: def try_write_lock if (held = @HeldCount.value) >= WRITE_LOCK_HELD @HeldCount.value = held + WRITE_LOCK_HELD return true else # normal global writer acquisition path end end This branch does not set the global "RUNNING_WRITER" bit. Other threads therefore do not observe an active writer and can continue holding or acquiring read locks while the caller believes it owns the write lock.

Any thread with access to the lock object can release an active write lock held by another thread. A second writer can then enter its critical section while the first writer is still running. "Concurrent::ReadWriteLock#release_read_lock" also decrements the shared counter even when no read lock is held. Calling it on a fresh lock changes the counter from "0" to "-1", after which normal read acquisition raises "Concurrent::ResourceLimitError". This is a synchronization correctness issue in the public "Concurrent::ReadWriteLock" API. It should not be framed as an authorization bypass; the lock is an in-process concurrency primitive, not an access-control boundary. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details "release_write_lock" checks only whether the global counter indicates that a writer is running. It does not track or verify ownership: def release_write_lock return true unless running_writer? c = @Counter.update { |counter| counter - RUNNING_WRITER } @ReadLock.broadcast @WriteLock.signal if waiting_writers(c) > 0 true end Because ownership is not checked, a different thread can clear the "RUNNING_WRITER" bit while the original writer is still inside its critical section. Another writer can then acquire the write lock and run concurrently with the first writer. "release_read_lock" unconditionally decrements the shared counter: def release_read_lock while true c = @Counter.value if @Counter.compare_and_set(c, c-1) if waiting_writer?(c) && running_readers(c) == 1 @WriteLock.signal end break end end true end On a fresh lock, this changes the counter from "0" to "-1". A later "acquire_read_lock" raises "Concurrent::ResourceLimitError" because the maximum-reader check masks the negative counter as saturated.

The impact is local to applications that expose or misuse the manual "acquire_" / "release_" APIs. If the lock protects integrity-sensitive mutable state, wrong-thread write release can allow concurrent writers and data races. The stray read-release path can cause denial of service by corrupting the lock counter. Credit Pranjali Thakur - depthfirst ("depthfirst.com" (http://depthfirst.com))

Vulnerability Details
Summary "Concurrent::AtomicReference#update" can enter a permanent busy retry loop when the current value is "Float::NAN". The issue is caused by the interaction between: - "AtomicReference#update", which retries until "compare_and_set(old_value, new_value)" succeeds. - Numeric "compare_and_set", which checks "old == old_value" before attempting the underlying atomic swap. - Ruby NaN semantics, where "Float::NAN == Float::NAN" is always "false". As a result, once an "AtomicReference" contains "Float::NAN", calling "#update" repeatedly evaluates the caller's block and never returns. In services that store externally derived numeric values in an "AtomicReference", this can cause CPU exhaustion or permanent request/job hangs. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details "AtomicReference#update" retries until "compare_and_set" returns true: def update true until compare_and_set(old_value = get, new_value = yield(old_value)) new_value end For numeric expected values, "compare_and_set" uses numeric equality before attempting the underlying atomic compare-and-set: def compare_and_set(old_value, new_value) if old_value.kind_of? Numeric while true old = get return false unless old.kind_of? Numeric return false unless old == old_value result = _compare_and_set(old, new_value) return result if result end else _compare_and_set(old_value, new_value) end end When the stored value is "Float::NAN", "old_value = get" returns NaN. The later comparison "old == old_value" is false because NaN is not equal to itself. "compare_and_set" therefore returns false every time. "AtomicReference#update" treats that as a failed concurrent update and retries forever. This is reachable through the public "Concurrent::AtomicReference" API and does not require native extensions or undefined behavior. PoC #!/usr/bin/env ruby frozen_string_literal: true require 'concurrent/atomic/atomic_reference' require 'concurrent/version' puts "ruby=#{RUBY_DESCRIPTION}" puts "concurrent_ruby_version=#{Concurrent::VERSION}" puts "poc=AtomicReference#update livelock when current value is Float::NAN" ref = Concurrent::AtomicReference.new(Float::NAN) attempts = 0 finished = false worker = Thread.new do ref.update do |_old_value| attempts += 1 0.0 end finished = true end sleep 0.25 puts "nan_update_attempts_after_250ms=#{attempts}" puts "nan_update_finished=#{finished}" puts "nan_update_worker_alive=#{worker.alive?}" if worker.alive? && !finished && attempts > 1000 puts 'result=REPRODUCED busy retry loop; update did not complete' else puts 'result=NOT_REPRODUCED' end worker.kill worker.join control = Concurrent::AtomicReference.new(1.0) control_attempts = 0 control_result = control.update do |old_value| control_attempts += 1 old_value + 1.0 end puts "control_update_result=#{control_result.inspect}" puts "control_update_attempts=#{control_attempts}" puts "control_update_final_value=#{control.value.inspect}" Log evidence ruby=ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin25] concurrent_ruby_version=1.3.6 poc=AtomicReference#update livelock when current value is Float::NAN nan_update_attempts_after_250ms=1926016 nan_update_finished=false nan_update_worker_alive=true result=REPRODUCED busy retry loop; update did not complete control_update_result=2.0 control_update_attempts=1 control_update_final_value=2.0 Impact This is an application-level denial of service issue. If an application stores externally derived numeric data in a "Concurrent::AtomicReference", an attacker or faulty upstream data source may be able to cause the stored value to become "Float::NAN". Any later call to "AtomicReference#update" on that reference will spin indefinitely, repeatedly executing the update block and consuming CPU.

Vulnerability Details
Addressable is an alternative implementation to the URI implementation that is part of Ruby's standard library. From 2.3.0 to before 2.9.0, within the URI template implementation in Addressable, two classes of URI template generate regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking. Templates using the * (explode) modifier with any expansion operator (e.g., {foo*}, {+var*}, {#var*}, {/var*}, {.var*}, {;var*}, {?var*}, {&var*}) generate patterns with nested unbounded quantifiers that are O(2^n) when matched against a maliciously crafted URI. Templates using multiple variables with the + or # operators (e.g., {+v1,v2,v3}) generate patterns with O(n^k) complexity due to the comma separator being within the matched character class, causing ambiguous backtracking across k variables. When matched against a maliciously crafted URI, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and uncontrolled resource consumption, leading to denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.9.0.

Vulnerability Details
Summary "Concurrent::ReentrantReadWriteLock" can incorrectly grant a write lock after one thread acquires the read lock 32,768 times. The lock stores a thread's local read and write hold counts in one integer. The low 15 bits are used for the read hold count, and bit 15 is used as "WRITE_LOCK_HELD". After 32,768 reentrant read acquisitions, the local read count crosses into the write-lock bit. "try_write_lock" then treats the thread as already holding a write lock and returns "true" without setting the global "RUNNING_WRITER" bit. This breaks the core mutual-exclusion guarantee: the caller is told it has a write lock, but other threads can still hold or acquire read locks at the same time. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details The implementation uses a shared counter to track global readers/writers and a per-thread local counter to support reentrancy: READER_BITS = 15 WRITER_BITS = 14 WAITING_WRITER = 1 << READER_BITS RUNNING_WRITER = 1 << (READER_BITS + WRITER_BITS) MAX_READERS = WAITING_WRITER - 1 MAX_WRITERS = RUNNING_WRITER - MAX_READERS - 1 WRITE_LOCK_HELD = 1 << READER_BITS READ_LOCK_MASK = WRITE_LOCK_HELD - 1 WRITE_LOCK_MASK = MAX_WRITERS When a thread already holds a lock, "acquire_read_lock" increments "@HeldCount": if (held = @HeldCount.value) > 0 if held & READ_LOCK_MASK == 0 @Counter.update { |c| c + 1 } end @HeldCount.value = held + 1 return true end After 32,768 read acquisitions, the per-thread held count becomes "32768", which is equal to "WRITE_LOCK_HELD". Then "try_write_lock" returns success through its "already have a write lock" branch: def try_write_lock if (held = @HeldCount.value) >= WRITE_LOCK_HELD @HeldCount.value = held + WRITE_LOCK_HELD return true else # normal global writer acquisition path end end This branch does not set the global "RUNNING_WRITER" bit. Other threads therefore do not observe an active writer and can continue holding or acquiring read locks while the caller believes it owns the write lock.

Summary "Concurrent::ReadWriteLock#release_write_lock" does not verify that the calling thread acquired the write lock. Any thread with access to the lock object can release an active write lock held by another thread. A second writer can then enter its critical section while the first writer is still running. "Concurrent::ReadWriteLock#release_read_lock" also decrements the shared counter even when no read lock is held. Calling it on a fresh lock changes the counter from "0" to "-1", after which normal read acquisition raises "Concurrent::ResourceLimitError". This is a synchronization correctness issue in the public "Concurrent::ReadWriteLock" API. It should not be framed as an authorization bypass; the lock is an in-process concurrency primitive, not an access-control boundary. Version Software: concurrent-ruby Version: 1.3.6 Commit: 7a1b78941c081106c20a9ca0144ac73a48d254ab Details "release_write_lock" checks only whether the global counter indicates that a writer is running. It does not track or verify ownership: def release_write_lock return true unless running_writer? c = @Counter.update { |counter| counter - RUNNING_WRITER } @ReadLock.broadcast @WriteLock.signal if waiting_writers(c) > 0 true end Because ownership is not checked, a different thread can clear the "RUNNING_WRITER" bit while the original writer is still inside its critical section. Another writer can then acquire the write lock and run concurrently with the first writer. "release_read_lock" unconditionally decrements the shared counter: def release_read_lock while true c = @Counter.value if @Counter.compare_and_set(c, c-1) if waiting_writer?(c) && running_readers(c) == 1 @WriteLock.signal end break end end true end On a fresh lock, this changes the counter from "0" to "-1". A later "acquire_read_lock" raises "Concurrent::ResourceLimitError" because the maximum-reader check masks the negative counter as saturated.

Log evidence Local reproduction output: ruby=ruby 2.6.10p210 (2022-04-12 revision 67958) [universal.arm64e-darwin25] concurrent_ruby_version=1.3.6 poc=ReadWriteLock release methods corrupt or bypass lock state writer1_acquired=true wrong_thread_release_write_lock_returned=true writer2_acquired_while_writer1_inside=true stray_release_read_lock_returned=true counter_after_stray_read_release=-1 acquire_read_after_stray_release=Concurrent::ResourceLimitError: Too many reader threads result=REPRODUCED wrong-thread write release and stray read-release corruption Impact This can break the write-lock mutual exclusion guarantee and can also leave a lock unusable after a stray read release. The impact is local to applications that expose or misuse the manual "acquire_" / "release_" APIs. If the lock protects integrity-sensitive mutable state, wrong-thread write release can allow concurrent writers and data races. The stray read-release path can cause denial of service by corrupting the lock counter. Credit Pranjali Thakur - depthfirst ("depthfirst.com" (http://depthfirst.com))
