Descriptions

The JSON gem before 1.5.5, 1.6.x before 1.6.8, and 1.7.x before 1.7.7 for Ruby allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) or bypass the mass assignment protection mechanism via a crafted JSON document that triggers the creation of arbitrary Ruby symbols or certain internal objects, as demonstrated by conducting a SQL injection attack against Ruby on Rails, aka "Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability."

El JSON gem v1.7.x anteriores a 1.7.7, v1.6.x anteriores a v1.6.8, y v1.5.x anteriores a v1.5.5 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de recursos) o evitar el mecanismo de protección de asignación masiva a través de un documento JSON manipulado que lanza la creación de símbolos arbitrarios en Ruby o ciertos objetos internos, como se demostró como se ha demostrado mediante la realización de un ataque de inyección SQL en Ruby on Rails, también conocido como "Vulnerabilidad de creación de objetos no seguro".

Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform is the next-generation ESB and business process automation infrastructure. Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform allows IT to leverage existing, modern, and future integration methodologies to dramatically improve business process execution speed and quality. This roll up patch serves as a cumulative upgrade for Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform 5.3.1. It includes various bug fixes. The following security issues are also fixed with this release: The Jakarta Commons HttpClient component did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name.
