Description Tomas Hoger 2008-07-01 10:07:14 EDT
It was discovered that implementation of Ruby Array's fill method is affected by
a multiple integer overflows.  Problem occurred in rb_ary_fill() function in
array.c and could result in insufficient memory allocations resulting in a heap
overflow.

First patch to address integer overflow condition was added upstream (in 1.8.6
branch) in following commit:

http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=13397

That change was insufficient and need to be replaced with following patch:

http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/branches/ruby_1_8_6/array.c?r1=17475&r2=17759

This was applied in 1.8.6-p257:

http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=rev&revision=17759
