Title: Rgpg Ruby Gem Remote Command Injection

Date: 7/31/2013

Advisory Author: Larry W. Cashdollar, @_larry0

CVE: TBD

Download: https://rubygems.org/gems/rgpg

Description:

"A simple Ruby wrapper around gpg command for file encryption.
rgpg is a simple API for interacting with the gpg tool. It is specifically designed to avoid altering global keyring state

in lib/rgpg/gpg_helper.rb:

68       begin
69         outputfile.close
70         result = system("#{commandline} > #{output_file.path} 2>&1")
71       ensure
