Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: rh-ror42 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:1855-01 Product: Red Hat Software Collections Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1855.html Issue date: 2016-09-13 CVE Names: CVE-2016-6316 CVE-2016-6317 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for rh-ror42-rubygem-actionview, rh-ror42-rubygem-activerecord, and rh-ror42-rubygem-actionpack is now available for Red Hat Software Collections. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: 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. 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. 7) - noarch 3. Description: Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action View implements the view component, and Active Record implements the model component. Security Fix(es) in rubygem-actionview: * It was discovered that Action View tag helpers did not escape quotes when using strings declared as HTML safe as attribute values. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS)attack. (CVE-2016-6316) Security Fix(es) in rubygem-activerecord: * A flaw was found in the way Active Record handled certain special values in dynamic finders and relations. If a Ruby on Rails application performed JSON parameter parsing, a remote attacker could possibly manipulate search conditions in SQL queries generated by the application. (CVE-2016-6317) Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Andrew Carpenter (Critical Juncture) as the original reporter of CVE-2016-6316; and joernchen (Phenoelit) as the original reporter of CVE-2016-6317. 4.
