From ${URL} : The parse_char_class function in regparse.c in the Onigmo (aka Oniguruma-mod) regular expression library, as used in Ruby 2.4.0, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deep recursion and application crash) via a crafted regular expression. Upstream issue: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13234 @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
This is already fixed in ruby 2.4.1 which is in the tree already. There are no stable versions in this slot and I have removed the older 2.4.x versions.
Hans, thank you ... changing whiteboard since no stable version in the slot and setting no glsa.
