Subject: [CVE-2016-2097] Possible Information Leak Vulnerability in Action View.
Possible Information Leak Vulnerability in Action View.
There is a possible directory traversal and information leak vulnerability in
Action View. This was meant to be fixed on CVE-2016-0752. However the
3.2 patch was not covering
all the scenarios. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier
CVE-2016-2097.
Versions Affected: 3.2.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x
Not affected: 4.2+
Fixed Versions: 3.2.22.2, 4.1.14.2
Impact
------
Applications that pass unverified user input to the `render` method in a
controller may be vulnerable to an information leak vulnerability.
Impacted code will look something like this:
```ruby
def index
render params[:id]
end
```
Carefully crafted requests can cause the above code to render files from
unexpected places like outside the application's view directory, and can
possibly escalate this to a remote code execution attack.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.
Releases
--------
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
-----------
A workaround to this issue is to not pass arbitrary user input to the `render`
method. Instead, verify that data before passing it to the `render` method.
For example, change this:
```ruby
def index
render params[:id]
end
```
To this:
```ruby
def index
render verify_template(params[:id])
end
private
def verify_template(name)
# add verification logic particular to your application here
end
```
