Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50610
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:128 (ruby)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to ruby
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:128.

Andres Salomon noticed a problem with the CGI session management in
Ruby. The CGI:Session's FileStore implementations store session
information in an insecure manner by just creating files and ignoring
permission issues (CVE-2004-0755).

The ruby developers have corrected a problem in the ruby CGI module
that can be triggered remotely and cause an inifinite loop on the
server (CVE-2004-0983).

The updated packages are patched to prevent these problems.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1

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