Detail
| Problem Description: Updated ruby packages that fix an arbitrary command execution issue are now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming. A bug was found in the way Ruby launched an XMLRPC server. If an XMLRPC server is launched in a certain way, it becomes possible for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the XMLRPC server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1992 to this issue. Users of Ruby should update to these erratum packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
