<background>
<p>
Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
object-oriented programming. It comes bundled with a HTTP server
("WEBrick").
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Giovanni Pellerano, Alessandro Tanasi and Francesco Ongaro reported
that WEBrick does not filter terminal control characters, for instance
when handling HTTP logs.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to a
WEBrick server to inject arbitrary terminal control characters,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary commands, data loss,
or other unspecified impact. This could also be used to facilitate
other attacks.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Ruby 1.8.7 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.7_p249"</code>
<p>
All Ruby 1.8.6 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6_p388"</code>
</resolution>
