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

A flaw was discovered in the way Ruby’s CGI module handles certain
multipart/form-data MIME data. If a remote attacker sends a specially
crafted multipart-form-data request, it is possible to cause the ruby
CGI script to enter an infinite loop, causing a denial of service.
(CVE-2006-5467)

Users of Ruby should upgrade to these updated packages which contain
backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.
