"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06 (SP), has ruby packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:

  - CRLF injection vulnerability in Ruby on Rails before 2.0.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary
    HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via a crafted URL to the redirect_to function.
    (CVE-2008-5189)

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in WEBrick in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6
    before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2, when using NTFS or FAT filesystems,
    allows remote attackers to read arbitrary CGI files via a trailing (1) + (plus), (2) %2b (encoded plus),
    (3) . (dot), (4) %2e (encoded dot), or (5) %20 (encoded space) character in the URI, possibly related to
    the WEBrick::HTTPServlet::FileHandler and WEBrick::HTTPServer.new functionality and the :DocumentRoot
    option. (CVE-2008-1891)

  - Ruby (aka CRuby) 1.9 before 1.9.3-p327 and 2.0 before r37575 computes hash values without properly
    restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers
    to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash
    table, as demonstrated by a universal multicollision attack against a variant of the MurmurHash2
    algorithm, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4815. (CVE-2012-5371)

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