Summary

RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third-party libraries.
It was found that, when using RubyGems, the connection could be redirected from HTTPS to HTTP. This could lead to a user believing they are installing a gem via HTTPS, when the connection may have been silently downgraded to HTTP. (CVE-2012-2125)
It was found that RubyGems did not verify SSL connections. This could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2012-2126)
All users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.2.2 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these issues.
