activesupport in Rails vulnerable to incorrect data conversion
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| RubyGems | activesupport | >= 2.3.2, < 2.3.16 | 2.3.16 |
| RubyGems | activesupport | >= 3.0.0, < 3.0.20 | 3.0.20 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
`lib/active_support/json/backends/yaml.rb` in Ruby on Rails 2.3.x before 2.3.16 and 3.0.x before 3.0.20 does not properly convert JSON data to YAML data for processing by a YAML parser, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, conduct SQL injection attacks, or bypass authentication via crafted data that triggers unsafe decoding, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0156.
