JRuby v9.2.11.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-25 // over 4 years ago

  • 🚀 The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 9.2.11.1

    ⬆️ JRuby 9.2.x is compatible with Ruby 2.5.x and stays in sync with C Ruby. As always there is a mix of miscellaneous fixes so be sure to read the issue list below. All users are encouraged to upgrade.

    🚀 As we are actively working on 9.3.0.0 we decided to put out a mini release which fixes a single issue.

    • 🖨 sprintf substring string formatting with precision may expose characters (#6137)

    👀 If you format a string using a precision specifier (e.g. %.1s) AND you pass in a substring of a larger string, you may see some of the larger string's characters in the formatted result. This is due to a bug in the handling of internal String data that causes the result to contain more characters than requested.

    long\_string = "aabbccddhelloddccbbaa"start\_index = 8sub\_str\_length = 5precision = 3sub\_string = long\_string[start\_index, sub\_str\_length]puts sprintf("%.#{precision}s", sub\_string)# =\> helloddccbb

    ⬆️ This bug could potentially expose sensitive content from the original String. It is unlikely to affect most users, but you are still encouraged to upgrade.

    Github Issues resolved for 9.2.11.1

    • 🖨 #6138 - Subtract begin offset for partial substring in sprintf 's'
    • 🖨 #6137 - sprintf adds extra buffer slots when precision arg truncates string slices
