Detail
| It was discovered that the interpreter for the Ruby language does not properly maintain "safe levels" for aliasing, directory accesses and regular expressions, which might lead to a bypass of security restrictions. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8-12sarge2. The unstable distribution (sid) does no longer contain ruby1.6 packages. We recommend that you upgrade your Ruby packages. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 27145 | Ruby Directory Operations Safe Level Security Bypass Ruby contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to bypass Safe Level restrictions. The issue is triggered when improper validation of the 'alias' function occurs. It is possible that the flaw may allow malicious code execution resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity. |
| 27144 | Ruby alias Function Safe Level Security Bypass Ruby contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered due to an unspecified error in the handling of the "alias" functionality. No further details have been provided. |
