CVE-2006-1931 Ruby vulnerability
Title: Ruby vulnerability
Summary: Ruby vulnerability
Yukihiro Matsumoto reported that Ruby's HTTP module uses blocking
sockets. By sending large amounts of data to a server application that
uses this module, a remote attacker could exploit this to render this
application unusable and not respond any more to other clients (Denial
of Service).
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2006-1931 Ruby http/xmlrpc server DoS
Ruby http/xmlrpc server DoS
A bug was found in the way ruby creates its http (and thus xmlrpc)
server. The server uses blocking sockets, so if it is possible to
send a very large amount of data via the socket, the server will block
other connections resulting in a denial of service.
The original report (and patch) are here:

This issue also affects FC4
Discussion:
As I said in the mail, those issues has been fixed in 1.8.3.
So it won't affects ruby packages on FC since we've already pushed 1.8.4 for them.
