+ <title>Ruby: Denial of Service vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The Ruby cgi.rb CGI library is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">ruby</product>
+ <announced>December 20, 2006</announced>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-lang/ruby" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.8.5_p2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.8.5_p2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on
+ simplicity and productivity.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The read_multipart function of the CGI library shipped with Ruby
+ (cgi.rb) does not properly check boundaries in MIME multipart content.
+ This is a different issue than GLSA 200611-12.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ The vulnerability can be exploited by sending the cgi.rb library a
+ crafted HTTP request with multipart MIME encoding that contains a
+ malformed MIME boundary specifier. Successful exploitation of the
+ vulnerability causes the library to go into an infinite loop.
+ </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 &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_p2&quot;</code>
