+ <title>Ruby: Security bypass vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Ruby is vulnerable to a security bypass of the safe level mechanism.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">ruby</product>

+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-lang/ruby" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
+ object-oriented programming. Ruby supports the safe execution of
+ untrusted code using a safe level and taint flag mechanism.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Dr. Yutaka Oiwa discovered that Ruby fails to properly enforce
+ safe level protections.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
+ code beyond the restrictions specified in each safe level.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
