The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-17 (Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities)
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).
Impact :
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.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
