Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for

    checking in Ruby's SSL client that could allow man-in-the-middle
    attackers to spoof SSL servers via valid certificate issued by a
    trusted certification authority.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.2.0-2+deb6u1.
