+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on
+    simplicity and productivity.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Zed Shaw, Jeremy Kemper, and Jamis Buck of the Mongrel project reported
+    that the CGI library shipped with Ruby is vulnerable to a remote Denial
+    of Service by an unauthenticated user.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    The vulnerability can be exploited by sending the cgi.rb library an
+    HTTP request with multipart MIME encoding that contains a malformed
+    MIME boundary specifier beginning with "-" instead of "--". Successful
+    exploitation of the vulnerability causes the library to go into an
+    infinite loop waiting for additional nonexistent input.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Ruby users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5-r3&quot;</code>
