ruby is vulnerable to authorization bypass. A flaw was found in the method for translating an exception message into a string in the Ruby Exception class. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass safe level 4 restrictions, allowing untrusted (tainted) code to modify arbitrary, trusted (untainted) strings, which safe level 4 restrictions would otherwise prevent.
