Ubuntu Security Notice USN-691-1 December 16, 2008
ruby1.9 vulnerability
CVE-2008-3443, CVE-2008-3790
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 8.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.10:
ruby1.9 1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
Laurent Gaffie discovered that Ruby did not properly check for memory
allocation failures. If a user or automated system were tricked into
running a malicious script, an attacker could cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2008-3443)
This update also fixes a regression in the upstream patch previously
applied to fix CVE-2008-3790. The regression would cause parsing of
some XML documents to fail.
