"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2011-226:01 advisory.

    Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming.  It has many
    features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl).  It is simple, straight-
    forward, and extensible.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2009-4492
    WEBrick 1.3.1 in Ruby 1.8.6 through patchlevel 383, 1.8.7 through patchlevel 248, 1.8.8dev, 1.9.1 through
    patchlevel 376, and 1.9.2dev writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which
    might allow remote attackers to modify a window's title, or possibly execute arbitrary commands or
    overwrite files, via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.
    CVE-2010-0541
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WEBrick HTTP server in Ruby in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8, and
    10.6 before 10.6.4, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URI that
    triggers a UTF-7 error page.
    CVE-2011-0188
    The VpMemAlloc function in bigdecimal.c in the BigDecimal class in Ruby 1.9.2-p136 and earlier, as used on
    Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 and other platforms, does not properly allocate memory, which allows context-
    dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors
    involving creation of a large BigDecimal value within a 64-bit process, related to an integer truncation
    issue.
    CVE-2011-1004
    The FileUtils.remove_entry_secure method in Ruby 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-420, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-330,
    1.8.8dev, 1.9.1 through 1.9.1-430, 1.9.2 through 1.9.2-136, and 1.9.3dev allows local users to delete
    arbitrary files via a symlink attack.4
    CVE-2011-1005
    The safe-level feature in Ruby 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-420, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-330, and 1.8.8dev allows
    context-dependent attackers to modify strings via the Exception#to_s method, as demonstrated by changing
    an intended pathname.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
