[FREEBSD:6916EA94-4628-11EC-BBE2-0800270512F4] rubygem-date -- Regular Expression Denial of Service Vunlerability of Date Parsing Methods

Stanislav Valkanov reports:

    Date's parsing methods including Date.parse
    are using Regexps internally, some of which are vulnerable
    against regular expression denial of service. Applications
    and libraries that apply such methods to untrusted input
    may be affected.
