- February 7th, 2013
- CVE-2013-0262, symlink path traversal in Rack::File
- CVE-2013-0263, timing attack against Rack::Session::Cookie
- Some Rails users may not be affected (if they only use Rails managed sessions).
- If users are using the Marshal (default) session cookie encoding, then those users are vulnerable to a Remote Code Execution, after a successful timing attack.
- While some users may assume that timing attacks are not viable over the Internet, Cloud users in particular are reminded that intra-cloud latencies are sufficiently low to be viable.
