Debian Security Advisory DSA-2247-1 security@debian.org

Package : rails
Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2011-0446 CVE-2011-0447
Debian Bug : 614864
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails, the Ruby web
application framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2011-0446
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities when JavaScript
encoding is used, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web
script or HTML.
CVE-2011-0447
Rails does not properly validate HTTP requests that contain an
X-Requested-With header, which makes it easier for remote attackers
to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.0-7+lenny0.1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.5-1.2+squeeze0.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.11-0.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.
