 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:177
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : ruby
 Date    : July 29, 2009
 Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 The BigDecimal library in Ruby 1.8.6 before p369 and 1.8.7 before
 p173 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
 (application crash) via a string argument that represents a large
 number, as demonstrated by an attempted conversion to the Float
 data type.
 
 This update corrects the problem.
