| #48 | fixed | SNI, giving certificates on *.scripts.mit.edu for FF 2 and IE 7 | presbrey | andersk |
| Description |
Currently lockername.scripts.mit.edu gives a certificate error. We have a valid certificate for *.scripts.mit.edu but it is currently not used. The problem is that (modulo recent extensions) the HTTPS protocol doesn’t support sending the virtual host name before the server must decide which certificate to present. There have been two proposed solutions. One is to use the SNI extension. This requires upgrading OpenSSL to at least 0.9.8f, patching mod_ssl, and using relatively recent browsers (old browsers will fall back to the current behavior). The other is to move *.scripts.mit.edu to a separate IP from scripts.mit.edu, so that the server knows which certificate to present based on the IP. This is less general (we can’t extend this to work with arbitrary vhosts), but we could probably implement it now. |

| #21 | fixed | upgrade out of Rails vulnerabilities | mitchb | price |
| Description |
We have 1.2.3 and some older Rails installed, and 1.2.3 is vulnerable. 1.2.5 is fixed. Some users may be using 1.2.3 (we also have 2.something), so we should get them upgraded. Hopefully this just means installing 1.2.5 and deleting 1.2.3; if these were, eg, Python versions, that'd be true. We don't know enough about Rails to know if it'll be that easy, or require changes to users' scripts.

Background ========== Ruby on Rails is a free web framework used to develop database-driven web applications. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-ruby/rails < 1.2.5 >= 1.2.5 Description =========== candlerb found that ActiveResource, when processing responses using the Hash.from_xml() function, does not properly sanitize filenames (CVE-2007-5380). The session management functionality allowed the "session_id" to be set in the URL (CVE-2007-5380). BCC discovered that the to_json() function does not properly sanitize input before returning it to the user (CVE-2007-3227). Impact ====== Unauthenticated remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to determine the existence of files or to read the contents of arbitrary XML files; conduct session fixation attacks and gain unauthorized access; and to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site by enticing a user to browse a specially crafted URL. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Ruby on Rails users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/rails-1.2.5" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-3227 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3227 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-5379 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5379 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-5380 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5380 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200711-17.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
