<p>
|
|
Zed Shaw, Jeremy Kemper, and Jamis Buck of the Mongrel project reported
|
|
that the CGI library shipped with Ruby is vulnerable to a remote Denial
|
|
of Service by an unauthenticated user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The vulnerability can be exploited by sending the cgi.rb library an
|
|
HTTP request with multipart MIME encoding that contains a malformed
|
|
MIME boundary specifier beginning with "-" instead of "--". Successful
|
|
exploitation of the vulnerability causes the library to go into an
|
|
infinite loop waiting for additional nonexistent input.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5-r3"</code>
