security advisoryred hatrubyCentOS: CSA-2021:1123-01 Critical: php72 Service Disruption
Updated ruby193-rubygem-actionpack and ruby193-rubygem-activerecord packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Software Collections. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: ruby193 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:0455-01 Product: Red Hat Software Collections Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:0455.html Issue date: 2016-03-15 CVE Names: CVE-2015-7576 CVE-2015-7577 CVE-2016-0751 CVE-2016-0752 CVE-2016-2097 CVE-2016-2098 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated ruby193-rubygem-actionpack and ruby193-rubygem-activerecord packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Software Collections. 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 Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 6.6) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 6.7) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.1) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.2) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - noarch 3. Description: The ruby193 collection providesRuby version 1.9.3 and Ruby on Rails version 3.2. Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. The following issues were corrected in rubygem-actionpack: Multiple directory traversal flaws were found in the way the Action View component searched for templates for rendering. If an application passed untrusted input to the 'render' method, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could use these flaws to render unexpected files and, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-0752, CVE-2016-2097) A code injection flaw was found in the way the Action View component searched for templates for rendering. If an application passed untrusted input to the 'render' method, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2098) A flaw was found in the way the Action Pack component performed MIME type lookups. Since queries were cached in a global cache of MIME types, an attacker could use this flaw to grow the cache indefinitely, potentially resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0751) A flaw was found in the way the Action Controller component compared user names and passwords when performing HTTP basic authentication. Time taken to compare strings could differ depending on input, possibly allowing a remote attacker to determine valid user names and passwords using a timing attack. (CVE-2015-7576) The following issue was corrected in rubygem-activerecord: A flaw was found in the Active Record component's handling of nested attributes in combination with the destroy flag. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to set attributes to invalid values or clear all attributes. (CVE-2015-7577) Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges John Poulin as the original reporter of CVE-2016-0752, Jyoti Singh and Tobias Kraze (makandra) as original reporters of CVE-2016-2097, Tobias Kraze (makandra) and joernchen (Phenoelit) as original reporters of CVE-2016-2098, Aaron Patterson(Red Hat) as the original reporter of CVE-2016-0751, Daniel Waterworth as the original reporter of CVE-2015-7576, and Justin Coyne as the original reporter of CVE-2015-7577. All ruby193 collection rubygem-actionpack and rubygem-activerecord packages users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running applications using the ruby193 collection must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5.
