Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:192
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : ruby
Date : October 27, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The CGI library in Ruby 1.8 allowed a remote attacker to cause a Denial
of Service via an HTTP request with a multipart MIME body that
contained an invalid boundary specifier, which would result in an
infinite loop and CPU consumption.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
