Title:	Turbolinux TLSA-2005-15 (ruby)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ruby announced via advisory TLSA-2005-15. Ruby is an interpreted scripting language designed to allow quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to perform system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible. Two issues have been discovered in Ruby: - CGI::Session's FileStore implementations store session information insecurely - The CGI module in Ruby allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive CPU consumption due to an infinite loop) via a malformed HTTP request The vulnerabilities may allow a local user to steal session information and hijack sessions or allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service in the CGI module in Ruby. Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=TLSA-2005-15 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
