Background ========== Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. XML-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in XML. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-lang/ruby < 1.8.2-r2 >= 1.8.2-r2 Description =========== Nobuhiro IMAI reported that an invalid default value in "utils.rb" causes the security protections of the XML-RPC server to fail. Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest available version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1992 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1992 [ 2 ] Ruby Security Announcement http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20050701.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200507-10.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
