-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2014:225 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : ruby Date : November 25, 2014 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated ruby packages fix security vulnerabilities: Will Wood discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled the encodes() function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Ruby to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service (CVE-2014-4975). Due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-8080, 100% CPU utilization can occur as a result of recursive expansion with an empty String. When reading text nodes from an XML document, the REXML parser in Ruby can be coerced into allocating extremely large string objects which can consume all of the memory on a machine, causing a denial of service (CVE-2014-8090). Additionally ruby has been upgraded to patch level 374. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-4975 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-8090 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0472.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: e22981ec1b8a1fd7824c24fd39d9d200 mbs1/x86_64/ruby-1.8.7.p374-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm d81f5681835f08cd145758aaecbbcd01 mbs1/x86_64/ruby-devel-1.8.7.p374-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm a44519df56835ea072ab18aa6b25aaed mbs1/x86_64/ruby-doc-1.8.7.p374-1.mbs1.noarch.rpm 5f7a4762fab7772bdec459a61bce733e mbs1/x86_64/ruby-tk-1.8.7.p374-1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm fe9618b0ff75faa50c5cb5dd84c179ed mbs1/SRPMS/ruby-1.8.7.p374-1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
