Updated ruby packages fix vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Ruby interpreter and
in Webrick, the webserver bundled with Ruby.

Directory traversal vulnerability in WEBrick in Ruby 1.8 before
1.8.5-p115 and 1.8.6-p114, and 1.9 through 1.9.0-1, when running on
systems that support backslash (\) path separators or case-insensitive
file names, allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files via
(1) ..%5c (encoded backslash) sequences or (2) filenames that match
patterns in the :NondisclosureName option. (CVE-2008-1145)

Multiple integer overflows in the rb_str_buf_append function in
Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before
1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2
allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or
cause a denial of service via unknown vectors that trigger memory
corruption, a different issue than CVE-2008-2663, CVE-2008-2664,
and CVE-2008-2725. (CVE-2008-2662)

Multiple integer overflows in the rb_ary_store function in Ruby
1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230,
and 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22 allow context-dependent attackers to
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unknown
vectors, a different issue than CVE-2008-2662, CVE-2008-2664, and
CVE-2008-2725. (CVE-2008-2663)

The rb_str_format function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before
1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0
before 1.9.0-2 allows context-dependent attackers to trigger memory
corruption via unspecified vectors related to alloca, a different issue
than CVE-2008-2662, CVE-2008-2663, and CVE-2008-2725. (CVE-2008-2664)

Integer overflow in the rb_ary_splice function in Ruby 1.8.4
and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230,
and 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22 allows context-dependent attackers to
trigger memory corruption via unspecified vectors, aka the REALLOC_N
variant, a different issue than CVE-2008-2662, CVE-2008-2663, and
CVE-2008-2664. (CVE-2008-2725)

Integer overflow in the rb_ary_splice function in Ruby 1.8.4 and
earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before
1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2 allows context-dependent attackers
to trigger memory corruption, aka the beg + rlen issue. (CVE-2008-2726)

Integer overflow in the rb_ary_fill function in array.c in Ruby before
revision 17756 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial
of service (crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
call to the Array#fill method with a start (aka beg) argument greater
than ARY_MAX_SIZE. (CVE-2008-2376)

The updated packages have been patched to fix these issues.
