lang/ruby23-base: update to 2.3.7, security release
Ruby 2.3.7 Released Posted by usa on 28 Mar 2018
Ruby 2.3.7 has been released.
This release includes about 70 bug fixes after the previous release, and also
includes several security fixes. Please check the topics below for details.
* CVE-2017-17742: HTTP response splitting in WEBrick
* CVE-2018-8777: DoS by large request in WEBrick
* CVE-2018-6914: Unintentional file and directory creation with directory
traversal in tempfile and tmpdir
* CVE-2018-8778: Buffer under-read in String#unpack

UNIXServer and UNIXSocket
* CVE-2018-8780: Unintentional directory traversal by poisoned NUL byte in Dir

See the ChangeLog for details.
After this release, we will end the normal maintenance phase of Ruby 2.3, and
start the security maintenance phase of it. This means that after the release
of 2.3.7 we will never backport any bug fixes to 2.3 except security fixes.
The term of the security maintenance phase is scheduled for 1 year. By the
end of this term, official support of Ruby 2.3 will be over. Therefore, we
recommend that you start planning to upgrade to Ruby 2.5 or 2.4.
