Comment 10 David Jorm 2012-04-26 03:28:28 UTC 
JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform includes jruby.jar as part of the scripting_chain quickstart. It is only deployed if you use this quickstart. jruby.jar does not include rubygems; this is provided by another component of the jruby distribution which is not included by JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform. Therefore JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform is not affected by these flaws in rubygems.

SAM-1 uses rubygems as a dependency and does not directly download or install additional ruby gems once installed.
