First published: Tue Nov 13 2007(Updated: )
Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.<br>An SSL certificate validation flaw was discovered in several Ruby Net<br>modules. The libraries were not checking the requested host name against<br>the common name (CN) in the SSL server certificate, possibly allowing a man<br>in the middle attack. (CVE-2007-5162, CVE-2007-5770)<br>Users of Ruby should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a<br>backported patch to resolve these issues.
