Foresight Linux Essential Advisory: 2007-0068-1
Published: 2007-11-11
Rating: Minor
Updated Versions:
ruby=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/1.8.6_p110-1-0.1
group-dist=/foresight.rpath.org@fl:1-devel//1/1.4.1-0.2-3

Description:
Previous versions of the ruby package include a library, Net::HTTPS, which
does not properly verify the CN (common name) field in ssl certificates,
making it easier to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
It is believed that Foresight Linux does not include any programs which
rely on this feature of the Net::HTTPS library, and so is not affected by
default.
