Descriptions

actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb in Action Pack in Ruby on Rails 4.x before 4.2.5.1 and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (superfluous caching and memory consumption) by leveraging an application's use of a wildcard controller route.

actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/routing/route_set.rb en Action Pack en Ruby on Rails 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.5.1 y 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.0.beta1.1 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (almacenamiento en caché superfluo y consumo de memoria) aprovechando el uso de una ruta de controlador comodín por una aplicación.

A flaw was found in the Action Pack component's caching of controller references. An attacker could use this flaw to cause unbounded memory growth, potentially resulting in a denial of service.

The rh-ror41 collection provides Ruby on Rails version 4.1. Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller framework for web application development. The following issue was corrected in rubygem-actionpack and rubygem-actionview: A directory traversal flaw was found in the way the Action View component searched for templates for rendering. If an application passed untrusted input to the 'render' method, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this to render unexpected files and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
