Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
|
|
object-oriented programming. Ruby supports the safe execution of
|
|
untrusted code using a safe level and taint flag mechanism.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
|
|
code beyond the restrictions specified in each safe level.

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>

|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3"</code>
