View affected systems

Topic

Updated rubygem-actionpack, rubygem-activesupport,
ruby193-rubygem-actionpack, and ruby193-rubygem-activesupport packages that
fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenShift
Enterprise 1.0.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

Description

Ruby on Rails is a model–view–controller (MVC) framework for web
application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view
components. Active Support provides support and utility classes used by the
Ruby on Rails framework.

Multiple flaws were found in the way Ruby on Rails performed XML parameter
parsing in HTTP requests. A remote attacker could use these flaws to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a Ruby on Rails application,
perform SQL injection attacks, or bypass the authentication using a
specially-created HTTP request. (CVE-2013-0156)

Red Hat is aware that a public exploit for the CVE-2013-0156 issues is
available that allows remote code execution in applications using Ruby on
Rails.

All users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which correct these issues. For Red Hat OpenShift
Enterprise administrators, the openshift-broker and openshift-console
services must be restarted for this update to take effect. Users of
OpenShift are advised to update their own applications that are running
Ruby on Rails.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
