Bug#693987: unblock: ruby1.9.1/1.9.3.194-4



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package ruby1.9.1

This version fixes a security problem with the hashing algorithm that
can be exploited to craft DOS attacks.

The debdiff against the package in testing is attached. Follows a brief
description of the added patch:

  * the added files represent the newly added, more secure, hash
    implementation.
  * the rb_memhash function is being moved to a different source file,
    and changed to use that new hash implementation.

unblock ruby1.9.1/1.9.3.194-4
