[Security] Ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 301 released (CVE-2010-0541)

Hello all. This is a new release for 1.8.7 series.

As Yugui posted earlier, there is a XSS vulnerability in WEBrick HTTP
server.
Beware that, though we realized this issue only recently, the
CVE-2010-0541
has been disclosed for months without notifying us, so public WEBrick
servers
are already under a real threat of attacks. Many thanks to Hideaki
Yamane for
letting us know it.

Anyway we have a fix for the issue now, and here are those applied for
the
1.8.7 branch. All WEBrick users are encouraged to upgrade.
