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.
Users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3 are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which correct these issues.
