- Summary
- session fixation protection mechanism in cgi_process.rb in Rails
- Details
-
The session fixation protection mechanism in cgiprocess.rb in Rails 1.2.4, as used in Ruby on Rails, removes the :cookieonly attribute from the DEFAULTSESSIONOPTIONS constant, which effectively causes cookie_only to be applied only to the first instantiation of CgiRequest, which allows remote attackers to conduct session fixation attacks. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-5380.
