Detail

resolv.rb in Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p287, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p72, and 1.9 r18423 and earlier uses sequential transaction IDs and constant source ports for DNS requests, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1447.

Title: RHSA-2008:0897 -- ruby security update (Moderate)
Description: Updated ruby packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. The Ruby DNS resolver library, resolv.rb, used predictable transaction IDs and a fixed source port when sending DNS requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to spoof a malicious reply to a DNS query. (CVE-2008-3905)

Title: DSA-1651 ruby1.8 -- several vulnerabilities
Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Ruby language, which may lead to denial of service and other security problems. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Keita Yamaguchi discovered that several safe level restrictions are insufficiently enforced. Christian Neukirchen discovered that the WebRick module uses inefficient algorithms for HTTP header splitting, resulting in denial of service through resource exhaustion. It was discovered that the dl module doesn't perform taintness checks. Luka Treiber and Mitja Kolsek discovered that recursively nested XML entities can lead to denial of service through resource exhaustion in rexml. Tanaka Akira discovered that the resolv module uses sequential transaction IDs and a fixed source port for DNS queries, which makes it more vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks.
