TITLE:
Fedora update for rubygem-actionpack

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34097

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34097/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update in rubygem-actionpack. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
HTTP header injection attacks.

Certain input passed to the "redirect_to" function is not properly
sanitised before being used in the HTTP response. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP headers, which are included in a
response sent to the user, allowing for execution of arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update
rubygem-actionpack").

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Luka Treiber and Mitja Kolsek, ACROS Security
