    <p>
    candlerb found that ActiveResource, when processing responses using the
    Hash.from_xml() function, does not properly sanitize filenames
    (CVE-2007-5380). The session management functionality allowed the
    "session_id" to be set in the URL (CVE-2007-5380). BCC discovered that
    the to_json() function does not properly sanitize input before
    returning it to the user (CVE-2007-3227).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Unauthenticated remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to
    determine the existence of files or to read the contents of arbitrary
    XML files; conduct session fixation attacks and gain unauthorized
    access; and to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
    browser session in context of an affected site by enticing a user to
    browse a specially crafted URL.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Ruby on Rails users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-ruby/rails-1.2.5"</code>
  </resolution>
