Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'ruby1.9.1' package(s) announced via the DLA-1221-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Ruby language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2017-17405

A command injection vulnerability in Net::FTP might allow a malicious FTP server the execution of arbitrary commands.

CVE-2017-17790

A command injection vulnerability in lib/resolv.rb's lazy_initialze might allow a command injection attack. However untrusted input to this function is rather unlikely.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.3.194-8.1+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby1.9.1 packages.
