| Description: | Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.
A bug was found in the way Ruby creates its xmlrpc and http servers. The servers use a non blocking socket, which enables a remote user to cause a denial of service condition if they are able to transmit a large volume of information from the network server. (CVE-2006-1931)
Users of Ruby should update to these erratum packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
