> USN-8431-1: Ruby vulnerabilities

[SOURCE] Ubuntu Security Notices [DATE: 15/06/2026 17:24] [LANGUAGE: EN]
It was discovered that Ruby's Net::IMAP library did not properly verify that Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption was started after issuing a STARTTLS command. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack and silently bypass TLS encryption. (CVE-2026-42246) It was also discovered that Ruby's Net::IMAP library did not validate string arguments passed to certain commands. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary IMAP commands. (CVE-2026-42257)
