-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: ruby193-ruby security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1763-01 Product: Red Hat Software Collections Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1763.html Issue date: 2013-11-25 CVE Names: CVE-2013-4164 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated ruby193-ruby packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Software Collections 1. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL 6 Server - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Software Collections for RHEL 6 Workstation - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to perform system management tasks. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Ruby parsed floating point numbers from their text representation. If an application using Ruby accepted untrusted input strings and converted them to floating point numbers, an attacker able to provide such input could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2013-4164) All ruby193-ruby users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct 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 the Red Hat Network.
