Details

Tyler Hicks and Shugo Maeda discovered that Ruby incorrectly allowed untainted
strings to be modified in protective safe levels. An attacker could use this
flaw to bypass intended access restrictions. USN-1602-1 fixed these
vulnerabilities in other Ubuntu releases. This update provides the
corresponding updates for Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2012-4464, CVE-2012-4466)

opening files. An attacker could use this flaw to open or create unexpected
