actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/request.rb in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.16 and 4.x before 4.0.2 does not properly consider differences in parameter handling between the Active Record component and the JSON implementation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended database-query restrictions and perform NULL checks or trigger missing WHERE clauses via a crafted request that leverages (1) third-party Rack middleware or (2) custom Rack middleware. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-0155.

This update fixes the following security issues with rubygem-actionpack-3_2 :

Toby Hsieh, Peter McLarnan, Ankit Gupta, Sudhir Rao and Kevin Reintjes discovered multiple cross-site scripting and denial of service vulnerabilities in Ruby Actionpack.

According to its self-reported version number, the Puppet Enterprise 3.x install on the remote host is prior to 3.1.1.  As a result, it is reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An input validation error exists related to the     included Ruby version, handling string to floating point     conversions that could allow denial of service attacks     or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-4164)

  - An error exists related to the included RubyGems     version and 'gem build', 'Gem::Package', and     'Gem::PackageTask' API calls that could allow denial     of service attacks. (CVE-2013-4363)

  - An error exists in the 'i18n' gem for Ruby that could     allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-4491)

  - An error exists related to handling temporary files     that could allow a local attacker to overwrite files by     using a symlink attack. (CVE-2013-4969)

  - An error exists related to the included Ruby on Rails,     'Action View', and handling certain headers that could     allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2013-6414)

  - An input validation error exists related to the     included Ruby on Rails and the 'unit' parameter in the     'number_to_currency' helper that could allow cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-6415)

  - An input validation error exists related to the     included Ruby on Rails, JSON parameter parsing and SQL     queries that could allow SQL injection attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6417)
