Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: ruby
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:128
Date: November 8th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Andres Salomon noticed a problem with the CGI session management in Ruby. The CGI:Session's FileStore implementations store session information in an insecure manner by just creating files and ignoring permission issues (CAN-2004-0755).

The ruby developers have corrected a problem in the ruby CGI module that can be triggered remotely and cause an inifinite loop on the server (CAN-2004-0983).

The updated packages are patched to prevent these problems.
