Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Ruby. When compiling a specially crafted regular expression with the methods Regexp.new, Regexp.union, Regexp.compile, or via a string interpolation such as /#{input}/, an integer overflow in the size of the compiled pattern can occur. This integer overflow causes memory corruption, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.
