Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ruby:

Ruby (aka CRuby) before 1.8.7-p357 computes hash values without
restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably,
which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains
a hash table (CVE-2011-4815).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
ruby on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
7.8
