How to Fix CVE-2024-43380

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Fugit dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

fugit fixed: 1.11.1 
Upgrade fugit to 1.11.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for fugit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-43380, inspect your project dependencies for Fugit:

inspect dependencies for fugit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Fugit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.11.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, where the product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. In Fugit, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The fugit "natural" parser, that turns "every wednesday at 5pm" into "0 17 * * 3", accepted any length of input and went on attempting to parse it, not returning promptly, as expected. The parse call could hold the thread with no end in sight. Fugit dependents that do not check (user) input length for plausability are impacted. ### Patches Problem was reported in #104 and the fix was released in [fugit 1.11.1](https://rubygems.org/gems/fugit/versions/1.11.1) ### Workarounds By making sure that `Fugit.parse(s)`, `Fugit.do_parse(s)`, `Fugit.parse_nat(s)`, `Fugit.do_parse_nat(s)`, `Fugit::Nat.parse(s)`, and `Fugit::Nat.do_parse(s)` are not fed strings too long. 1000 chars feels ok, while 10_000 chars makes it stall. In fewer words, making sure those fugit methods are not fed unvetted input strings. ### References gh-104
