+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy
+ object-oriented programming. It comes bundled with HTTP ("WEBrick") and
+ XMLRPC server objects.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Ruby uses blocking sockets for WEBrick and XMLRPC servers.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could send large amounts of data to an affected server
+ to block the socket and thus deny other connections to the server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.4-r1"</code>
