JRuby in Google Summer of Code 2013

2013-04-16T00:00:00-05:00

We’re pleased to announce that JRuby has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013!

JRuby participated in last year’s Google Summer of Code with eight excellent students. Projects ranged from serialization of our new intermediate representation to improved Android support via the Ruboto project. We’re hoping to have another great batch of projects, students, and mentors this year.

The JRuby GSoC 2013 wiki page has all the practical details, including dates, contact information, and possible ideas. This week (until April 21) we’re looking for mentors interested in helping a student over the summer. From April 22 to May 3, students can submit their proposals, and soon after that we’ll get our slot allocations and select projects.

If you are interested in mentoring a project, now’s the time to get involved! Apply on the JRuby GSoC organization page. If you aren’t interested in mentoring, please pass the word on to others!

If you’d like to work on a project for JRuby as a student, you should start communicating with us on the jruby-gsoc Google Group today. We’ll help you find a project that suits you and make sure you put together a complete proposal after April 22. You’ll also apply on the JRuby GSoC organization page, but not until after April 21. If you’re not a student or won’t be able to participate…tell your friends we’re looking for them!

Google Summer of Code has been a really exciting and rewarding experience for the JRuby project, and we’re looking forward to another excellent year.

JRuby 1.7.3 Released

2013-02-21T00:00:00-06:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.3

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

Alert Please note the primary reason for putting out 1.7.3 was to address two security issues. Everyone should upgrade to 1.7.3 (details on security issues below).

Note: This was a condensed release due to wanting to put out security fixes. If the bugs you are waiting for have not been fixed we will be fixing them for 1.7.4.

JRuby 1.7.3 is our third update release since JRuby 1.7.0. The primary goal of 1.7 point releases is to fill out any missing compatibility issues with Ruby 1.9.3. The community participation lately has been great. Keep reporting issues and sending pull requests.

Changes of note:

Security fix (no CVE) for DOS using entity expansion in REXML
Security fix (CVE-2013-0269) for unsafe object creation using JSON
Relicensed from CPL to EPL
Fixed one regression in windows java native launcher
A few encoding issues resolved
42 issues fixed for 1.7.3

Note: These next two sections are write-ups by Aaron Patterson on the security issues. JRuby 1.7.3 fixes both of these issues. You only need to be aware of workarounds if it is impossible for you to update JRuby to version 1.7.3.

Rexml DOS Fix

Impact

When reading text nodes from an XML document, the REXML parser can be coerced in to allocating extremely large string objects which can consume all of the memory on a machine, causing a denial of service.

Impacted code will look something like this:

document = REXML::Document.new some_xml_doc
document.root.text

When the text method is called, entities will be expanded. An attacker can send a relatively small XML document that, when the entities are resolved, will consume extreme amounts of memory on the target system.

Note that this attack is similar to, but different from the Billion Laughs attack. This is also related to CVE-2013-1664.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the work arounds immediately.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade Ruby, use this monkey patch as a workaround:

class REXML::Document
  @@entity_expansion_text_limit = 10_240

  def self.entity_expansion_text_limit=( val )
    @@entity_expansion_text_limit = val
  end

  def self.entity_expansion_text_limit
    @@entity_expansion_text_limit
  end
end

class REXML::Text
  def self.unnormalize(string, doctype=nil, filter=nil, illegal=nil)
    sum = 0
    string.gsub( /\r\n?/, "\n" ).gsub( REFERENCE ) {
      s = self.expand($&, doctype, filter)
      if sum + s.bytesize > REXML::Document.entity_expansion_text_limit
        raise "entity expansion has grown too large"
      else
        sum += s.bytesize
      end
      s
    }
  end

  def self.expand(ref, doctype, filter)
    if ref[1] == ?#
      if ref[2] == ?x
        [ref[3...-1].to_i(16)].pack('U*')
      else
        [ref[2...-1].to_i].pack('U*')
      end
    elsif ref == '&amp;'
      '&'
    elsif filter and filter.include?( ref[1...-1] )
      ref
    elsif doctype
      doctype.entity( ref[1...-1] ) or ref
    else
      entity_value = DocType::DEFAULT_ENTITIES[ ref[1...-1] ]
      entity_value ? entity_value.value : ref
    end
  end
end

This monkey patch will limit the size of the entity substitutions to 10k per node. REXML already defaults to only allow 10000 entity substitutions per document, so the maximum amount of text that can be generated by entity substitution will be around 98 megabytes.

JSON Security Fix CVE-2013-0269

Impact

When parsing certain JSON documents, the JSON gem can be coerced in to creating Ruby symbols in a target system. Since Ruby symbols are not garbage collected, this can result in a denial of service attack.

The same technique can be used to create objects in a target system that act like internal objects. These “act alike” objects can be used to bypass certain security mechanisms and can be used as a spring board for SQL injection attacks in Ruby on Rails.

Impacted code looks like this:

JSON.parse(user_input)

Where the user_input variable will have a JSON document like this:

{"json_class":"foo"}

The JSON gem will attempt to look up the constant “foo”. Looking up this constant will create a symbol.

In JSON version 1.7.x, objects with arbitrary attributes can be created using JSON documents like this:

{"json_class":"JSON::GenericObject","foo":"bar"}

This document will result in an instance of JSON::GenericObject, with the attribute “foo” that has the value “bar”. Instantiating these objects will result in arbitrary symbol creation and in some cases can be used to bypass security measures.

PLEASE NOTE: this behavior does not change when using JSON.load. JSON.load should never be given input from unknown sources. If you are processing JSON from an unknown source, always use JSON.parse.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the work arounds immediately.

Workarounds

For users that cannot upgrade, please use the attached patches. If you cannot use the attached patches, change your code from this:

JSON.parse(json)

To this:

JSON.parse(json, :create_additions => false)

If you cannot change the usage of JSON.parse (for example you’re using a gem which depends on JSON.parse like multi_json), then apply this monkey patch:

module JSON
  class << self
    alias :old_parse :parse
    def parse(json, args = {})
      args[:create_additions] = false
      old_parse(json, args)
    end
  end
end

JRuby 1.7.0. Released

2012-10-22T00:00:00-05:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.0

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

After a long journey (1.5 years..oh my) we have released JRuby 1.7.0. The JRuby 1.7 release series represents a tremendous amount of work by dozens of contributors, and there are improvements in every subsystem. Users of highly-concurrent applications will see improvements in throughput and raw parallelism. And JRuby now defaults to 1.9 mode, with compatibility level targeting Ruby 1.9.3.

We know that there are still pieces of 1.9 support we don’t have yet, like Ripper, but we are at a stable point where people can use JRuby in 1.9 mode to host production applications. At this point, we plan on putting out point releases of 1.7.x every 2-3 weeks for the foreseeable future. These point releases will be made to address any reported problems users run into; and also to fill out the few missing 1.9 libraries not yet finished.

JRuby 1.7 is the first JRuby to support the new “invokedynamic” feature of the JVM. You can enable invokedynamic use on Java 7, but it is disabled normally due to JVM issues. On Java 8 builds, it is enabled by default. http://wiki.jruby.org/PerformanceTuning

1.9.3 is now our default runtime mode (–1.8 is needed for 1.8.7 support)
Ruby standard library updated to 1.9.3p286
Many 1.9.x compatibility fixes
Support for invokedynamic
Performance and concurrency improvements throughout
Java 5 support dropped (Java 6+ required)
All known 1.9 encoding issues resolved
Kernel#exec now does a true native exec on all platforms
Improvements and fixes to Java integration and embedding
Native features now better supported on Solaris, ARM Linux, and others
Update to Rubygems 1.8.24
Update to Rake 0.9.2.2

JRuby 1.7.0.RC2 Released

2012-10-09T00:00:00-05:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.0.RC2.

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

This is the second (and likely last) release candidate of JRuby 1.7. The JRuby 1.7 release series represents a tremendous amount of work by dozens of contributors, and there are improvements in every subsystem. Users of highly-concurrent applications will see improvements in throughput and raw parallelism. And we have upped our compatibility level to match Ruby 1.9.3.

We know that there are still pieces of 1.9 support we don’t have yet, like Ripper, but we think we are at a stable point where people can use JRuby in 1.9 mode to host production applications. Barring any significantly serious issues, RC2 will become 1.7.0. Our plan after the release of 1.7.0 is a set of smaller point releases to address bugs and to add the few missing pieces of Ruby 1.9.

Please, please, please test your applications against 1.7.0.RC2. We want to make 1.7.0 a rock solid release and your contribution is extremely helpful.

JRuby 1.7.0.RC1 Released

2012-09-25T00:00:00-05:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.0.RC1.

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

This is the first (and hopefully only) release candidate of JRuby 1.7. The JRuby 1.7 release series represents a tremendous amount of work by dozens of contributors, and there are improvements in every subsystem. Users of highly-concurrent applications will see improvements in throughput and raw parallelism. And we have upped our compatibility level to match Ruby 1.9.3.

We know that there are still pieces of 1.9 support we don’t have yet, like Ripper, but we think we are at a stable point where people can use JRuby in 1.9 mode to host production applications. Barring any significantly serious issues, RC1 will become 1.7.0. Our plan after the release of 1.7.0 is a set of smaller point releases to address bugs and to add the few missing pieces of Ruby 1.9.

Please, please, please test your applications against 1.7.0.RC1. We want to make 1.7.0 a rock solid release and your contribution is extremely helpful.

Notable Changes:

1.9.3 is now our default runtime mode (–1.8 is needed for 1.8.7 support)
Many 1.9.x compatibility fixes
Several IO transcoding issues
Improvements and fixes to Java integration
113 issues resolved

JRuby 1.6.8 Released

2012-09-18T00:00:00-05:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.6.8.

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

The primary goal of the 1.6.x series is to round out our 1.9 support by fixing any reported incompatibilities. Of course, as with any JRuby release, we will continue fixing any found incompatibilities and also improve performance. All users of 1.6.7.2 (and lower) are encouraged to upgrade to 1.6.8.

This release is a somewhat special release in that JRuby community members were primarily responsible for performing the backporting of fixes. These fixes represented what current users of JRuby 1.6.x wanted in a JRuby 1.6.8. Special thanks to merge-master David Kellum for putting so much effort into make JRuby 1.6.8 a reality.

Notable Changes:

Updated to RubyGems 1.8.24
Fixed a resource leak in LoadService
No more accidental GC of runtime state in unusual situations
Various 1.9 compability fixes

JRuby 1.7.0.preview2 Released

2012-08-07T00:00:00-05:00

The JRuby community is pleased to announce the release of JRuby 1.7.0.preview2.

Homepage: http://www.jruby.org/
Download: http://www.jruby.org/download

This is the second preview release of JRuby 1.7. The JRuby 1.7 release series represents a tremendous amount of work by dozens of contributors, and there are improvements in every subsystem. Users of highly-concurrent applications will see improvements in throughput and raw parallelism. And we have upped our compatibility level to match Ruby 1.9.3.

We have opted for another preview cycle due to the amount of reports about improperly working transcoding support. We have greatly improved transcoding of IO and users should be much happier with 1.7.0.preview2.

Due to some issues with Java 7’s invokedynamic support we decided to disable the support by default. It will be turned back on when Java 7 fixes those issues. See http://wiki.jruby.org/PerformanceTuning

Please, please, please test your applications against 1.7.0.preview2. We want to make 1.7.0 a rock solid release and your contribution is extremely helpful.

Notable Changes:

1.9.3 is now our default runtime mode (–1.8 is needed for 1.8.7 support)
Many 1.9.x compatibility fixes
invokedynamic has been disabled for now on Java 7 (still on by default on Java 8)
Performance and concurrency improvements
Java 5 support dropped (Java 6+ required)
Several IO transcoding issues
YAML now encodes scalars properly instead of using Java locale
Kernel#exec now does a true native exec on all platforms
Improvements and fixes to Java integration and embedding
Fix several native support issues on Solaris
122 issues resolved
