CVE-2011-2686 severity low: SUSE including 14 source package names (ruby-1.8.7.p357-0.7.1, ruby-1.8.7.p357-0.9.17.1, …), 19 product×package rows across 6 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1-TERADATA, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2, … (6 product lines)): Fixed 19.
Ruby before 1.8.7-p352 does not reset the random seed upon forking, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the values of random numbers by leveraging knowledge of the number sequence obtained in a different child process, a related issue to CVE-2003-0900. NOTE: this issue exists because of a regression during Ruby 1.8.6 development.
