Moderate: rubygem-actionpack and ruby193-rubygem-actionpack security update
Security Advisory: Moderate
Updated rubygem-actionpack and ruby193-rubygem-actionpack packages that
fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise
1.1.3.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability
from the CVE links in the References section.
Ruby on Rails is a model–view–controller (MVC) framework for web
application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view
components.
Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in rubygem-actionpack and
ruby193-rubygem-actionpack. A remote attacker could use these flaws to
conduct XSS attacks against users of an application using
rubygem-actionpack or ruby193-rubygem-actionpack. (CVE-2013-1855,
CVE-2013-1857)
Red Hat would like to thank Ruby on Rails upstream for reporting these
issues. Upstream acknowledges Charlie Somerville as the original reporter
of CVE-2013-1855, and Alan Jenkins as the original reporter of
CVE-2013-1857.
Users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3 are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which correct these issues.
