<title>Ruby on Rails: Several vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
Ruby on Rails has some weaknesses potentially allowing a Denial of Service
and maybe the remote execution of arbitrary Ruby scripts.

<background>
<p>
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The Ruby on Rails developers have corrected some weaknesses in
action_controller/, relative to the handling of the user input and the
LOAD_PATH variable. A remote attacker could inject arbitrary entries
into the LOAD_PATH variable and alter the main Ruby on Rails process.
The security hole has only been partly solved in version 1.1.5. Version
1.1.6 now fully corrects it.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker that would exploit these weaknesses might cause a
Denial of Service of the web framework and maybe inject arbitrary Ruby
scripts.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Ruby on Rails users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-ruby/rails-1.1.6&quot;</code>
</resolution>
