Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 586-1 (ruby)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to ruby
announced via advisory DSA 586-1.

The upstream developers of Ruby have corrected a problem in the CGI
module for this language. Specially crafted requests could cause an
infinite loop and thus cause the program to eat up cpu cycles.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version ruby_1.6.7-3woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.8-12 of ruby1.6 and in version 1.8.1+1.8.2pre2-4 of
ruby1.8.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby packages.
