CVE-2013-4389

Published: 17 October 2013

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in log_subscriber.rb files in the log subscriber component in Action Mailer in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.15 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted e-mail address that is improperly handled during construction of a log message.

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
in Oneiric+, rails package is just for transition
seth-arnold
Only 3.x.x is affected; earlier and 4.0.x are safe
The patch standardizes some log handling across multiple packages,
but the security fix looks restricted to just one line in action mailer:
info("\nSent mail to #{recipients} ...
the other packages can be left alone.
