15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 A vulnerability in OpenID library for Ruby at worst might allow an
19 attacker to bypass authentication.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 A Ruby library for verifying and serving OpenID identities.
25
26 Affected packages
27 =================
28
29 -------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 1 dev-ruby/ruby-openid < 2.9.2 >= 2.9.2
33
34 Description
35 ===========
36
37 It was discovered that OpenID library for Ruby performed discovery
38 first, and then verification.
39
40 Impact
41 ======
42
43 A remote attacker could possibly change the URL used for discovery and
44 trick the server into connecting to the URL. This server in turn could
45 be a private server not
46 publicly accessible.
47
48 In addition, if the client that uses this library discloses connection
49 errors, this in turn could disclose information from the private server
50 to the attacker.
51
52 Workaround
53 ==========
54
55 There is no known workaround at this time.
56
57 Resolution
58 ==========
59
60 All ruby-openid users should upgrade to the latest version:
61
62 # emerge --sync
63 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/ruby-openid-2.9.2"
