Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 ruby1.9.1 to version 1.9.3.0-1ubuntu2.9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby1.9.1 package and not the ruby1.9.1 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The REXML parser in Ruby 1.9.x before 1.9.3-p550, 2.0.x before 2.0.0-p594, and 2.1.x before 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML document, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
