A security flaw was found on ruby currently shiped on Fedora 18 that carefully crafted sequence of strings may cause a denial of service attack on the service that parses the sequence to create a Hash object by using the strings as keys. This issue is now registered as CVE-2012-5371.

This new package should fix this issue.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
