Description Kurt Seifried 2014-02-14 21:36:24 UTC
Aaron Patterson of the Ruby on Rails project reports:

There is a denial of service vulnerability in the text rendering component of Action View.

Versions Affected: 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x
Not affected: 4.0.x
Fixed Versions: 3.2.17

Impact
------

Strings sent in specially crafted headers will be converted to symbols. This can
cause a denial of service since symbols are not removed by the garbage collector.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the work
arounds immediately.
