RHBA-2016:2719 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rh-ruby22 packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Software Collections.

Description

Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It provides features to process text files and to perform system management tasks. RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third-party libraries.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Keyword arguments previously did not work correctly if hash keys contained a dynamically created symbol. Consequently, when a method with keyword arguments was used with such a hash, the values could have been incorrectly assigned to the method arguments. A patch has been applied, which protects value stack from calling other methods during the complex parameter setting process. As a result, assigning named arguments from a hash works as expected in the described scenario. (BZ#1369090)

Users of rh-ruby22 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
