+ 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).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Ruby on Rails users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-ruby/rails-1.2.5"</code>
