Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-28 (Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ruby on Rails. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact :

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary SQL commands, change parameter names for form inputs and make changes to arbitrary records in the system, bypass intended access restrictions, render arbitrary views, inject arbitrary web script or HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Ruby on Rails 2.x users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-ruby/rails-2.3.18' NOTE: All applications using Ruby on Rails should also be configured to use the latest version available by running “rake rails:update” inside the application directory. NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA and stable updates for Ruby on Rails, including the unaffected version listed above, are no longer available from Gentoo. It may be possible to upgrade to the 3.2, 4.0, or 4.1 branches, however these packages are not currently stable.

How to Run

Here is how to run the GLSA-201412-28 : Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Gentoo Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select GLSA-201412-28 : Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities plugin ID 79981.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl gentoo_GLSA-201412-28.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a gentoo_GLSA-201412-28.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - gentoo_GLSA-201412-28.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state gentoo_GLSA-201412-28.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
