3. Description:

RubyGems is the Ruby standard for publishing and managing third-party
libraries.

It was found that, when using RubyGems, the connection could be redirected
from HTTPS to HTTP. This could lead to a user believing they are installing
a gem via HTTPS, when the connection may have been silently downgraded to
HTTP. (CVE-2012-2125)

It was found that RubyGems did not verify SSL connections. This could lead
to man-in-the-middle attacks. (CVE-2012-2126)

All users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.2.2 are advised to upgrade to
this updated package, which corrects these issues.

4. Solution:
