Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2012-10-03 20:59:20 UTC
This affects F17 and later (not F16).

Comment 2 Jan Lieskovsky 2012-10-04 08:56:13 UTC
Reference CVE-2012-4464 in this one too, since it's the same situation (F-16 not affected, F-17 and later affected). => this bug is from now for both:
1) CVE-2012-4464 and
2) CVE-2012-4466

issues.

"This" means -4464, and -4466 affects F-18,17,16, right?

1) For CVE-2012-4464 this would affect F-18 and F-17:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=862598#c2
but not Fedora-16 yet (since we ship 1.8.x based ruby version there),

2) For CVE-2012-4466 this would affect F-18 and F-17, but not F-16. Though this is reported to affected both ruby 1.9.x and ruby 1.8.x versions, I have checked yesterday that F-16 ruby doesn't contain OBJ_INFECT() clause in name_err_mesg_to_str() method yet (which upstream patch:

  http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=37068

is fixing. Note: That patch covers both issues / is the same for both of them).

So it's enough to schedule F-18 and F-17 updates for these two.

Hi Mamoru,

I have confirmed from upstream, that the patch you applied to F16 is correct. In other words, 1.8.7 is vulnerable to both CVE-2012-4464 and CVE-2012-4466 as well.
