DSA-1612-1 vs. tracker



Hi again!

DSA-1612-1 [1] has been recently issued and a corresponding tracker
page [2] was added.

However, it seems that there's a couple of inconsistencies between the
DSA and the tracker.

First off, the tracker page [2] lists one seemingly spurious CVE as
fixed by this DSA: it claims that CVE-2006-2662 [3] is fixed by
ruby1.8/1.8.5-4etch2, but CVE-2006-2662 seems to talk about VMware
Server, not about Ruby!
I think this CVE was added to the tracker page [2] by mistake...

Secondly, the DSA [1] claims that all the CVEs are fixed in unstable by
ruby1.8/1.8.7.22-2, while the tracker page for CVE-2008-2376 [4] claims
that ruby1.8/1.8.7.22-2 is still vulnerable.

If these are actual inconsistencies, please fix them ASAP.

Thanks for your efforts in improving Debian security!
