Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71,
and 1.9 through r18423 does not properly restrict access to critical
variables and methods at various safe levels, which allows context-dependent
attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via (1) untrace_var, (2)
$PROGRAM_NAME, and (3) syslog at safe level 4, and (4) insecure methods at
safe levels 1 through 3.
