Fedora 17 : ruby-1.9.3.392-29.fc17 (2013-3038)

high Nessus Plugin ID 65038

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

The new version 1.9.3 patchlevel 392 is released.

A bug was found in the previous ruby that unrestricted entity expansion can lead to a DoS vulnerability in REXML. This new rpm will fix this issue.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected ruby package.
