+
+<p>An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in the
+Psych::Emitter startdocument function of Ruby. In Psych::Emitter startdocument
+function heap buffer <q>head</q> allocation is made based on tags array length.
+Specially constructed object passed as element of tags array can increase this
+array size after mentioned allocation and cause heap overflow</p>
+
+<p>For Debian 8 <q>Jessie</q>, this problem has been fixed in version
+2.1.5-2+deb8u9.</p>
+
+<p>We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.1 packages.</p>
+
+<p>Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
+these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
+found at: <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/LTS">https://wiki.debian.org/LTS</a></p>
