Description Matt Drew (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-30 17:10:01 UTC
This apparently is a rehash of bug #69985 - the fix was apparently not complete.  The new CVE is 2006-5467:

ruby herd, pls provide an ebuild with the patch
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 07:43:59 UTC
1.8.5-r3 in portage, have a nice day.
Comment 3 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 08:31:47 UTC
arches, please test ruby-1.8.5-r3 and mark stable if possible
Comment 4 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 10:54:40 UTC
sparc is stable, but I'm leaving it in the CC list because of also ~sparc-fbsd, which I cannot test.
Comment 5 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 10:57:40 UTC
No need for that since sparc-fbsd hasn't got any stable yet.
Comment 6 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 11:17:54 UTC
Thanks for that information.
Comment 7 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 11:21:59 UTC
dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5-r3  USE="ipv6 threads -cjk -debug -doc -examples -socks5 -tk"
1. emerges on x86, please note: dodoc: MANIFEST does not exist
2. passes collision test
3. fails test suite:
  1) Failure:
test_endblockwarn(TestBeginEndBlock) [./ruby/test_beginendblock.rb:54]:
<"endblockwarn.rb:2: warning: END in method; use at_exit\n(eval):2: warning: END in method; use at_exit\n"> expected but was
<"/var/tmp/portage/ruby-1.8.5-r3/temp/TestBeginEndBlock.19074.0:6: warning: Insecure world writable dir /var/tmp, mode 041777\nendblockwarn.rb:2: warning: END in method; use at_exit\n(eval):2: warning: END in method; use at_exit\n">.

please note, if it isn't an update, a new emerge of ruby a lot of tests fail:
1575 tests, 15553 assertions, 3 failures, 50 errors
is this expected?

4. subversion with USE="ruby" emerges with it

Comment 8 Alexander Færøy 2006-11-07 14:13:43 UTC
Stable on alpha.
Comment 9 Joshua Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 21:30:32 UTC
x86 is stable, guess I should be going yay to something I use using this..actively.
Comment 10 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-07 23:45:11 UTC
ppc stable
Comment 11 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-08 11:22:38 UTC
Tests show 7 failures in 1.8.5-r3 on amd64, but latest stable (1.8.5) has the
very same failures. No regression, no reason to not mark stable.
=> amd64 love applied.

Flameeyes: Those test failures seem to be installation dependent, as it tries
to
a) access ruby in $ROOT, and not under the work directory,
b) complain about the work directory be insecure due to permissions.

Poke me if you want a bugreport for it.
Comment 12 René Nussbaumer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-13 12:10:16 UTC
stable on hppa
Comment 13 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-15 05:01:02 UTC
ppc64 stable
Comment 14 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-15 13:17:59 UTC
lets have a GLSA for this one even though B3 would call for a vote, but there is a draft already
Comment 15 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-20 11:55:13 UTC
Thx everyone.
