Detail
| Peter McLarnan discovered that the internationalization component of Ruby on Rails does not properly encode parameters in generated HTML code, resulting in a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This update corrects the underlying vulnerability in the i18n gem, as provided by the ruby-i18n package. The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is not affected by this problem; the libi18n-ruby package does not contain the vulnerable code. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.0-3+deb7u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.9-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-i18n packages. |
