Action Pack implements the controller and the view components. It was found that several number conversion helpers in Action View did not properly escape all their parameters. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting attack on an application that uses data submitted by a user as parameters to the affected helpers. A memory consumption issue was discovered in the text rendering component of Action View. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack by sending specially crafted queries that would result in the creation of Ruby symbols that were never garbage collected.

This technology enables enterprises with existing virtual infrastructures to improve visibility and control, and those just starting virtualization deployments to build and operate a well-managed virtual infrastructure. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Ruby parsed floating point numbers from their text representation. If an application using Ruby accepted untrusted input strings and converted them to floating point numbers, an attacker able to provide such input could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
