CVE-2012-5372 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-5372):
  Rubinius computes hash values without properly restricting the ability to
  trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent
  attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input
  to an application that maintains a hash table, as demonstrated by a
  universal multicollision attack against the MurmurHash3 algorithm.
