3. Problem description:
Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.
A flaw was dicovered in the CGI module of Ruby. If empty data is sent by
the POST method to the CGI script which requires MIME type
multipart/form-data, it can get stuck in a loop. A remote attacker could
trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2004-0983 to this issue.
Users are advised to upgrade to this erratum package, which contains a
backported patch to cgi.rb.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:
up2date
