"Previously a security flow was found on rubygems for validating
versions with a regular expression which is vulnerable to denial of
service due to backtracking. Although this was thought to be fixed in
the previous rubygems, the fix was found imcomplete and the
imcompleteness is now assigned as CVE-2013-4363.

A packaging bug was found that a directory was not properly owned.

This new rpm will 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."
