attacks.

CVE-2007-5770

It was discovered that the Ruby modules for FTP, Telnet, IMAP, POP
and SMTP perform insufficient validation of SSL certificates, which
may lead to man-in-the-middle attacks.

The stable distribution (etch) no longer contains libopenssl-ruby.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed
in version 0.1.4a-1sarge1. Packages for sparc will be provided later.

We recommend that you upgrade your libopenssl-ruby packages.
