- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3494-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb July 12, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : ruby-doorkeeper Version : 4.4.2-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-34246 Debian Bug : 1038950

It was discovered that there was an issue in ruby-doorkeeper, a OAuth2 provider for Ruby on Rails applications. Doorkeeper automatically processed authorization requests without user consent for public clients that have been previously approved, but public clients are inherently vulnerable to impersonation as their identity cannot be assured.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 4.4.2-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-doorkeeper packages.

For the detailed security status of ruby-doorkeeper please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/ruby-doorkeeper

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

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

Solution

Upgrade the ruby-doorkeeper packages.
