[ MDVSA-2009:193 ] ruby

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : ruby
Date : August 5, 2009
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0, 2009.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

ext/openssl/ossl_ocsp.c in Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 does not properly check
the return value from the OCSP_basic_verify function, which might allow
remote attackers to successfully present an invalid X.509 certificate,
possibly involving a revoked certificate.

This update corrects the problem, including for older ruby versions.
