Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.

A bug was found in the way Ruby launched an XMLRPC server. If an XMLRPC
server is launched in a certain way, it becomes possible for a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the XMLRPC server. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-1992 to this issue.

Users of Ruby should update to these erratum packages, which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
