-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:124 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : ruby Date : April 10, 2013 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated ruby packages fix security vulnerabilities: Shugo Maedo and Vit Ondruch discovered that Ruby incorrectly allowed untainted strings to be modified in protective safe levels. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended access restrictions (CVE-2012-4466, CVE-2012-4481). It was discovered that Ruby's REXML library did not properly restrict XML entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes from specially-crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming large amounts of system memory (CVE-2013-1821). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-4466 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-4481 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1821 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-0294 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2013-0092 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: eca1de4cfdf664a3df54083f7019eef6 mbs1/x86_64/ruby-1.8.7.p358-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 7f4d4820b8c8908e91be5cfcf4bf21ae mbs1/x86_64/ruby-devel-1.8.7.p358-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 80079bf97c8414ad733a275cabf3d5e5 mbs1/x86_64/ruby-doc-1.8.7.p358-2.1.mbs1.noarch.rpm 67f5798cb1e05bf34533e2b7a41c938e mbs1/x86_64/ruby-tk-1.8.7.p358-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm b7c67e8c2262b2204aa8ad8a6d8b87a7 mbs1/SRPMS/ruby-1.8.7.p358-2.1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
