Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52831
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
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.
