- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Package : rails
Version : 2:4.1.8-1+deb8u5
CVE ID : CVE-2019-5418 CVE-2019-5419
Debian Bug : 924520
John Hawthorn of Github discovered a file content disclosure
vulnerability in Rails, a ruby based web application framework.
Specially crafted accept headers in combination with calls to `render
file:` can cause arbitrary files on the target server to be rendered,
disclosing the file contents.
This vulnerability could also be exploited for a denial-of-service
attack.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
2:4.1.8-1+deb8u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.
