This Metasploit module exploits a Denial of Service (DoS) condition in Action View that requires a controller action. By sending a specially crafted content-type header to a Rails application, it is possible for it to store the invalid MIME type, and may eventually consume all memory if enough invalid MIMEs are given. Versions 3.0.0 and other later versions are affected, fixed in 4.0.2 and 3.2.16.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1863-01 - Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager acts as a proxy for handling subscription information and software updates on client machines. Red Hat Subscription Asset Manager is built on Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components. A directory traversal flaw was found in the way Ruby on Rails handled wildcard segments in routes with implicit rendering. A remote attacker could use this flaw to retrieve arbitrary local files accessible to a Ruby on Rails application using the aforementioned routes via a specially crafted request.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0008-01 - Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller framework for web application development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view components. A flaw was found in the way Ruby on Rails performed JSON parameter parsing. An application using a third party library, which uses the Rack::Request interface, or custom Rack middleware could bypass the protection implemented to fix the CVE-2013-0155 vulnerability, causing the application to receive unsafe parameters and become vulnerable to CVE-2013-0155.
