Background

JRuby is a Java-based Ruby interpreter implementation.

Description

JRuby does not properly randomize hash functions to protect against hash collision attacks.

Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted input, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All JRuby users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/jruby-1.6.5.1"
