Ubuntu 4.10 : ruby1.8 vulnerability (USN-20-1)

Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2004-2019 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2006-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.

The Ruby developers discovered a potential Denial of Service vulnerability in the CGI module (cgi.rb). Specially crafted CGI requests could cause an infinite loop in the server process.
Repetitive attacks could use most of the available processor resources, exhaust the number of allowed parallel connections in web servers, or cause similar effects which render the service unavailable.

There is no possibility of privilege escalation or data loss.

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