Synopsis
ruby security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Moderate
Topic
Updated ruby packages that fix an arbitrary command execution issue are now
available.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
[Updated 25 Oct 2005]
Errata has been updated to include missing packages for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 3.
Description
Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.
A bug was found in the way ruby handles eval statements. It is possible for
a malicious script to call eval in such a way that can allow the bypass of
certain safe-level restrictions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2337 to this issue.
Users of Ruby should update to these erratum packages, which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
