Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2017-353-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-353-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-353-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New ruby packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/ruby-2.2.9-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: Net::FTP#get, getbinaryfile, gettextfile, put, putbinaryfile, and puttextfile use Kernel#open to open a local file. If the localfile argument starts with the pipe character '', the command following the pipe character is executed. The default value of localfile is File.basename(remotefile), so malicious FTP servers could cause arbitrary command execution. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'ruby' package(s) on Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
