Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.66424
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:325 (ruby)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to ruby;announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:325.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to ruby
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:325.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in ruby:

ext/openssl/ossl_ocsp.c in Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 does not properly check
the return value from the OCSP_basic_verify function, which might allow
remote attackers to successfully present an invalid X.509 certificate,
possibly involving a revoked certificate (CVE-2009-0642).

The BigDecimal library in Ruby 1.8.6 before p369 and 1.8.7 before
p173 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) via a string argument that represents a large
number, as demonstrated by an attempted conversion to the Float data
type (CVE-2009-1904).

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.

This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities.

Affected: 2008.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.

CVSS Score:
