Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0728-01 - Ruby is an extensible, interpreted, object-oriented, scripting language. It has features to process text files and to do system management tasks. It was found that documentation created by RDoc was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting 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 RDoc is used for creating documentation for Ruby source files, it is not a common scenario to make such documentation accessible over the network.

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. It was found that documentation created by rubygem-rdoc and ruby193-rubygem-rdoc was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting 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, it is not a common scenario to make such documentation accessible over the network.

The latest packages for Subscription Asset Manager include a number of security fixes: When a Subscription Asset Manager instance is created, its configuration script automatically creates an RPM of the internal subscription service CA certificate. However, this RPM incorrectly created the CA certificate with file permissions of 0666. This allowed other users on a client system to modify the CA certificate used to trust the remote subscription server. All administrators are advised to update and deploy the subscription service certificate on all systems which use Subscription Asset Manager as their subscription service.

It provides self-service computing resources to users in a managed, governed, and secure way. Three flaws were found in rubygem-rack. A remote attacker could use these flaws to perform a denial of service attack against applications using rubygem-rack. It was found that documentation created by rubygem-rdoc was vulnerable to a cross-site scripting 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 is used for creating documentation for Ruby source files, it is not a common scenario to make such documentation accessible over the network.

An attacker could use this issue to generate hash collisions and cause a denial of service. Evgeny Ermakov discovered that documentation generated by rdoc is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting issue. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. Various other issues were also addressed.
