The rh-ror41 collection provides Ruby on Rails version 4.1. Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller framework for web application development. The following issue was corrected in rubygem-actionpack and rubygem-actionview: A directory traversal flaw was found in the way the Action View component searched for templates for rendering. If an application passed untrusted input to the "render" method, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this to render unexpected files and, possibly, execute arbitrary code. The following issues were corrected in rubygem-actionpack: A flaw was found in the way the Action Pack component performed MIME type lookups. Since queries were cached in a global cache of MIME types, an attacker could use this flaw to grow the cache indefinitely, potentially resulting in a denial of service. A flaw was found in the Action Pack component"s caching of controller references. An attacker could use this flaw to cause unbounded memory growth, potentially resulting in a denial of service. A flaw was found in the way the Action Controller component compared user names and passwords when performing HTTP basic authentication. Time taken to compare strings could differ depending on input, possibly allowing a remote attacker to determine valid user names and passwords using a timing attack. The following issue was corrected in rubygem-activerecord: A flaw was found in the Active Record component"s handling of nested attributes in combination with the destroy flag. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to set attributes to invalid values or clear all attributes. The following issue was corrected in rubygem-activemodel and rubygem-activerecord: A flaw was found in the way the Active Model based models processed attributes. An attacker with the ability to pass arbitrary attributes to models could possibly use this flaw to bypass input validation. Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting these issues.
