Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2015.0227
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0227)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby-http-cookie, ruby-netrc, ruby-rest-client' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0227 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ruby-http-cookie, ruby-netrc, ruby-rest-client' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0227 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated ruby-rest-client packages fix security vulnerability:

When Ruby rest-client processes an HTTP redirection response, it blindly
passes along the values from any Set-Cookie headers to the redirection target,
regardless of domain, path, or expiration. This can be used in a session
fixation attack or in stealing cookies (CVE-2015-1820).

REST Client for Ruby contains a flaw that is due to the application logging
password information in plaintext. This may allow a local attacker to gain
access to password information (CVE-2015-3448).

The ruby-rest-client package has been updated to version 1.8.0, fixing these
issues and several other bugs. Refer to the upstream changelog for more
details.

Affected Software/OS:
'ruby-http-cookie, ruby-netrc, ruby-rest-client' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
