"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0897 :

Updated ruby packages that fix several security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
object-oriented programming.

The Ruby DNS resolver library, resolv.rb, used predictable transaction
IDs and a fixed source port when sending DNS requests. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to spoof a malicious reply to a DNS
query. (CVE-2008-3905)

Ruby's XML document parsing module (REXML) was prone to a denial of
service attack via XML documents with large XML entity definitions
recursion. A specially crafted XML file could cause a Ruby application
using the REXML module to use an excessive amount of CPU and memory.
(CVE-2008-3790)

An insufficient 'taintness' check flaw was discovered in Ruby's DL
module, which provides direct access to the C language functions. An
attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended safe-level
restrictions by calling external C functions with the arguments from
an untrusted tainted inputs. (CVE-2008-3657)

A denial of service flaw was discovered in WEBrick, Ruby's HTTP server
toolkit. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request
to a WEBrick server that would cause the server to use an excessive
amount of CPU time. (CVE-2008-3656)

A number of flaws were found in the safe-level restrictions in Ruby.
It was possible for an attacker to create a carefully crafted
malicious script that can allow the bypass of certain safe-level
restrictions. (CVE-2008-3655)

A denial of service flaw was found in Ruby's regular expression
engine. If a Ruby script tried to process a large amount of data via a
regular expression, it could cause Ruby to enter an infinite-loop and
crash. (CVE-2008-3443)

Users of ruby should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues."
