New ruby packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, and -current
to fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:
patches/packages/ruby-1.9.3_p448-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update patches a vulnerability in Ruby’s SSL client that could allow
man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a valid certificate
issued by a trusted certification authority.
For more information, see:
