Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

Summary

Bundler manages an application's dependencies through its entire life, across many machines, systematically and repeatably. Thor is a toolkit for building powerful command-line interfaces.
A flaw was found in the way Bundler handled gems available from multiple sources. An attacker with access to one of the sources could create a malicious gem with the same name, which they could then use to trick a user into installing, potentially resulting in execution of code from the attacker-supplied malicious gem. (CVE-2013-0334)
Bundler has been upgraded to upstream version 1.7.8 and Thor has been upgraded to upstream version 1.19.1, both of which provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. (BZ#1194243, BZ#1209921)
All rubygem-bundler and rubygem-thor users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.
