Package: libruby1.8
Version: 1.8.5-3
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole
A vulnerability has been found in ruby's cgi.rb (or rather
a previous fix was incomplete). From CVE-2006-5467:
The cgi.rb CGI library for Ruby 1.8 allows remote attackers to cause a
dneial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via an HTTP
request with a multipart MIME body that contains an invalid boundary
specifier, as demonstrated using a specifier that begins with a "-"
instead of "--" and contains an inconsistent ID.
See
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2006/11/03/CVE-2006-5467/
http://secunia.com/advisories/22624
for more info.
Please mention the CVE-id in the changelog and also check ruby 1.9.
