Detail

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ruby, an object-oriented scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-5162

It was discovered that the Ruby HTTP(S) module performs insufficient validation of SSL certificates, which may lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.

CVE-2007-5770

It was discovered that the Ruby modules for FTP, Telnet, IMAP, POP and SMTP perform insufficient validation of SSL certificates, which may lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.5-4etch1. Packages for sparc will be provided later.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.2-7sarge6. Packages for sparc will be provided later.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby1.8 packages.

Title: The connect method in lib/net/http.rb in the (1) Net::HTTP and (2) Net::HTTPS libraries in Ruby 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 does not verify that the commonName (CN) field in a server certificate matches the domain name in an HTTPS request, which makes it easier for remote attackers to intercept SSL transmissions via a man-in-the-middle attack or spoofed web site.
