The official ruby site reports:
Another vulnerability has been discovered in the CGI library
(cgi.rb) that ships with Ruby which could be used by a malicious
user to create a denial of service attack (DoS).
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.
