CVE-2007-6077

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
Publication date:
21/11/2007
Last modified:

Description

The session fixation protection mechanism in cgi_process.rb in Rails 1.2.4, as used in Ruby on Rails, removes the :cookie_only attribute from the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS 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.
