Debian DSA-5372-1 : rails - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 172505

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5372 advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in rails, the Ruby based server-side MVC web application framework, which could result in XSS, data disclosure and open redirect. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2:6.0.3.7+dfsg-2+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages. For the detailed security status of rails please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/rails

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the rails packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2
