Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: ruby193-ruby, rubygem-json and rubygem-rdoc security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:0701-01

Product: Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0701.html

Issue date: 2013-04-02

CVE Names: CVE-2013-0256 CVE-2013-0269

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated ruby193-ruby, rubygem-json and rubygem-rdoc packages that fix two

security issues are now available for Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise Infrastructure - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise Node - noarch, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It

has features to process text files and to do system management tasks.

 

A flaw in rubygem-json and ruby193-rubygem-json allowed remote attacks by

creating different types of malicious objects. For example, it could

initiate a denial of service attack through resource consumption by using a

JSON document to create arbitrary Ruby symbols, which were never garbage

collected. It could also be exploited to create internal objects which

could allow a SQL injection attack. (CVE-2013-0269)

 

It was found that documentation created by rubygem-rdoc and

ruby193-rubygem-rdoc was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

If such documentation was accessible over a network, and a remote attacker

could trick a user into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to

arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's session. As

rubygem-rdoc and ruby193-rubygem-rdoc are used for creating documentation

for Ruby source files (such as classes, modules, and so on), it is not a

common scenario to make such documentation accessible over the network.

(CVE-2013-0256)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Ruby on Rails upstream for reporting

CVE-2013-0269, and Eric Hodel of RDoc upstream for reporting CVE-2013-0256.

Upstream acknowledges Thomas Hollstegge of Zweitag and Ben Murphy as the

original reporters of CVE-2013-0269, and Evgeny Ermakov as the original

reporter of CVE-2013-0256.

 

Users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3 are advised to upgrade to these

updated packages, which correct these issues.
