candlerb found that ActiveResource, when processing responses using the
|
|
Hash.from_xml() function, does not properly sanitize filenames
|
|
(CVE-2007-5380). The session management functionality allowed the
|
|
"session_id" to be set in the URL (CVE-2007-5380). BCC discovered that
|
|
the to_json() function does not properly sanitize input before
|
|
returning it to the user (CVE-2007-3227).

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unauthenticated remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to
|
|
determine the existence of files or to read the contents of arbitrary
|
|
XML files; conduct session fixation attacks and gain unauthorized
|
|
access; and to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
|
|
browser session in context of an affected site by enticing a user to
|
|
browse a specially crafted URL.
|
|
</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 ">=dev-ruby/rails-1.2.5"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
