Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56695
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-273-1 (ruby1.8)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to ruby1.8 announced via advisory USN-273-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: libruby1.8 libwebrick-ruby1.8 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). Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.8.1+1.8.2pre2-3ubuntu0.4 (for Ubutu 4.10), 1.8.1+1.8.2pre4-1ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 1.8.2-9ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-273-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
