I've checked in fixes for an installation exploit found by Gavin
Sinclair.  Here's a draft email describing the exploit and how to
fix RubyGems.  I only supplied patches for the past two versions of
RubyGems, since tattle says that's what everybody uses.

b) Apply the following patch

For RubyGems 0.9.0:

<installer.rb.extract_files.REL_0_9_0.patch>

For RubyGems 0.8.11:

<installer.rb.extract_files.REL_0_8_11.patch>

Note: I didn't test either of these patches.  the 0.9.0 patch applied
cleanly with offset.  The 0.8.11 I had to do by hand.

If anybody still has a 0.8.11, please test this patch.

Evan Phoenix reported my patch was bogus. This patch should apply correctly:

Attachment: installer.rb.extract_files.REL_0_8_11.patch
Description: Binary data
