Descriptions
The http_basic_authenticate_with method in actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/http_authentication.rb in the Basic Authentication implementation in Action Controller in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.22.1, 4.0.x and 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before 4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 does not use a constant-time algorithm for verifying credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication by measuring timing differences.
El método http_basic_authenticate_with en actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/http_authentication.rb en la implementación Basic Authentication en Action Controller en Ruby on Rails en versiones anteriores a 3.2.22.1, 4.0.x y 4.1.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.5.1 y 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.0.beta1.1 no usa el algoritmo de tiempo constante para verificar credenciales, lo que hace que sea más fácil para atacantes remotos eludir la autenticación mediante la medición de las diferencias de temporización.
A flaw was found in the way the Action Controller component compared user names and passwords when performing HTTP basic authentication. Time taken to compare strings could differ depending on input, possibly allowing a remote attacker to determine valid user names and passwords using a timing attack.
