Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-lang/ruby < 1.8.3 >= 1.8.3 Description =========== Dr. Yutaka Oiwa discovered that Ruby fails to properly enforce safe level protections. Impact ====== An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code beyond the restrictions specified in each safe level. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2337 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2337 [ 2 ] Ruby release announcement http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20051003.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200510-05.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.
