From: Bonnie King 
Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: ruby on SL5.x, SL6.x i386/srpm/x86_64
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Moderate: ruby security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1090-1
Issue Date: 2013-07-17
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4073
--

A flaw was found in Ruby's SSL client's hostname identity check when
handling certificates that contain hostnames with NULL bytes. An attacker
could potentially exploit this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks
to spoof SSL servers. Note that to exploit this issue, an attacker would
need to obtain a carefully-crafted certificate signed by an authority that
the client trusts. (CVE-2013-4073)
