Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the irb packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Updated ruby packages that fix a denial of service issue for the CGI instance are now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 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.
