A flaw was found in Ruby's SSL client's hostname identity check when
handling certificates that contain hostnames with NULL bytes. An attacker
could potentially exploit this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to
spoof SSL servers. Note that to exploit this issue, an attacker would need
to obtain a carefully-crafted certificate signed by an authority that the
client trusts. (CVE-2013-4073)

contain backported patches to resolve this issue.");
