+ Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language. The + elaborate standard library includes the "BigDecimal" class. +

+
+ +

+ Tadayoshi Funaba reported that BigDecimal in + ext/bigdecimal/bigdecimal.c does not properly handle string arguments + containing overly long numbers. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could exploit this issue to remotely cause a Denial + of Service attack. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version: +
