Description Josh Bressers 2004-11-08 16:38:49 UTC

Upstream has fixed a denial of service issue in ruby.  The CGI module
could enter into an infinite loop if a specially crafted request is
sent to it.

This issue should also affect FC2.

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2004-11-08 16:53:19 UTC

attachment 106289 [details] contains the patch for this issue.

Comment 2 David Eisenstein 2004-11-10 04:49:07 UTC

This issue appears to also affect FC1 (Legacy).  See 
  http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2007
for our response to this.

Comment 3 Josh Bressers 2004-11-10 10:57:24 UTC

This issue is not the same one covered by

http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2007

That bug deals with insecure temporary files, this issue is a DoS. 
Both deal with the Ruby CGI layer though.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2004-11-11 05:07:57 UTC

should be fixed in 1.8.1-6.FC2.0 and 1.8.1-7.FC3.1
