Problem description: Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming. A number of flaws were found in the safe-level restrictions in Ruby. It was possible for an attacker to create a carefully crafted malicious script that can allow the bypass of certain safe-level restrictions. (CVE-2006-3694) 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. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 199539 - CVE-2006-3694 Insecure operations in the certain safe-level restrictions 199545 - CVE-2006-3694 ruby safe-level bypass |
