Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-10-31 16:25:22 UTC
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the way the regular expression engine of the JRuby, Java implementation of the Ruby programming language, processed certain invalid UTF-8 byte sequences. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary HTML or web script via specially-crafted input provided to an JRuby application.
