| 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). |

| </description> |
| <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> |
