3. Description:

 

Ruby on Rails is a model–view–controller (MVC) framework for web

application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view

components.

 

Two cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in rubygem-actionpack and

ruby193-rubygem-actionpack. A remote attacker could use these flaws to

conduct XSS attacks against users of an application using

rubygem-actionpack or ruby193-rubygem-actionpack. (CVE-2013-1855,

CVE-2013-1857)

 

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

issues. Upstream acknowledges Charlie Somerville as the original reporter

of CVE-2013-1855, and Alan Jenkins as the original reporter of

CVE-2013-1857.

updated packages, which correct these issues.
