TITLE

Ruby on Rails of internationalization Component cross-site scripting vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/translation_helper.rb in the internationalization component in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.16 and 4.x before 4.0.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted string that triggers generation of a fallback string by the i18n gem. RubyGems i18n is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Versions prior to RubyGems i18n 0.6.6, and 0.5.1 are vulnerable. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.6-6+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.2.16-3+0 of the rails-3.2 source package. We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-actionpack-3.2 packages. Relevant releases/architectures: OpenStack 3 - noarch 3. An application using a third party library, which uses the Rack::Request interface, or custom Rack middleware could bypass the protection implemented to fix the CVE-2013-0155 vulnerability, causing the application to receive unsafe parameters and become vulnerable to CVE-2013-0155. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: Subscription Asset Manager 1.4 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1863-01 Product: Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1863.html Issue date: 2014-11-17 CVE Names: CVE-2013-1854 CVE-2013-1855 CVE-2013-1857 CVE-2013-4491 CVE-2013-6414 CVE-2013-6415 CVE-2014-0130 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated Subscription Asset Manager 1.4 packages that fix multiple security issues are now available. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager for RHEL 6 Server - noarch 3. Description: Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager acts as a proxy for handling subscription information and software updates on client machines. Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager is built on Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components. A directory traversal flaw was found in the way Ruby on Rails handled wildcard segments in routes with implicit rendering. A remote attacker could use this flaw to retrieve arbitrary local files accessible to a Ruby on Rails application using the aforementioned routes via a specially crafted request. (CVE-2014-0130) A flaw was found in the way Ruby on Rails handled hashes in certain queries. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service (resource consumption) attack by sending specially crafted queries that would result in the creation of Ruby symbols, which were never garbage collected. (CVE-2013-1854) Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in Action Pack. A remote attacker could use these flaws to conduct XSS attacks against users of an application using Action Pack. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to perform a reflective cross-site scripting (XSS) attack by providing a specially crafted input to an application using the aforementioned component. (CVE-2013-4491) A denial of service flaw was found in the header handling component of Action View. A remote attacker could send strings in specially crafted headers that would be cached indefinitely, which would result in all available system memory eventually being consumed. (CVE-2013-6414) It was found that the number_to_currency Action View helper did not properly escape the unit parameter. An attacker could use this flaw to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on an application that uses data submitted by a user in the unit parameter. (CVE-2013-6415) Red Hat would like to thank Ruby on Rails upstream for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Ben Murphy as the original reporter of CVE-2013-1854, Charlie Somerville as the original reporter of CVE-2013-1855, Alan Jenkins as the original reporter of CVE-2013-1857, Peter McLarnan as the original reporter of CVE-2013-4491, Toby Hsieh as the original reporter of CVE-2013-6414, and Ankit Gupta as the original reporter of CVE-2013-6415. All Subscription Asset Manager users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4.
