Title:	Turbolinux TLSA-2007-1 (ruby)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ruby announced via advisory TLSA-2007-1. 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::allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via an HTTP request with a multipart MIME body - Service use disturbance (DoS) the vulnerability which becomes state exists in cgi.rb which is the standard library of Ruby language. A specific HTTP request for any web application using cgi.rb causes CPU consumption on the machine on which the web application is running. Many such requests result in a denial of service. Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=TLSA-2007-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
