A flaw was dicovered in the CGI module of Ruby. If empty data is sent by the POST method to the CGI script which requires MIME type multipart/form-data, it can get stuck in a loop. A remote attacker could trigger this flaw and cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0983 to this issue.
