NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-libs package and not the ruby-libs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The safe-level feature in Ruby 1.8.7 allows context-dependent attackers to modify strings via the NameError#to_s method when operating on Ruby objects. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1005.
