-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2810-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso December 04, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ruby1.9.1 Vulnerability : heap overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-4164 Debian Bug : 730178 Charlie Somerville discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled floating point number conversion. If an application using Ruby accepted untrusted input strings and converted them to floating point numbers, an attacker able to provide such input could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.2.0-2+deb6u2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.3.194-8.1+deb7u2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.3.484-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ruby1.9.1 packages.
