Red Hat recommends a balanced update addressing vulnerabilities linked to XSS in rubygem-actionpack for OpenShift Container Platform.
Updated rubygem-actionpack and ruby193-rubygem-actionpack packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3

Summary

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.
