Hello
Will you please send me the md5sum for file: ruby185-21.exe?
 Also, will
this version fix the current cgi.rb (DoS) vulnerability?  I
have a user
who is wanting to download & try out Ruby on his Windows
platform.
Thanks for your attention.
Amanda

Hi,

At [1] you can find the md5 (I haven't checked its
correctness, but
nobody complained yet 

The 185-21.exe one-click installer contains the original
1.8.5 version
of ruby that doesn't contain the fix. There is a new ruby
version
1.8.5-p11 in the testing. It will be released after sometime
if no
problems are found. After that, it will take some time to
update the
one-click installer.

Other than waiting for the new release, you can:

- patch it yourself after installation
- use the vanilla ruby from ruby-lang without the installer
and
extensions (there is one for 1.8.5-p2 [2]
- build the oneclick yourself. You'll need VC6 (or mingw) to
do that.
just get the sources, and follow the readme.
