ArchLinux: 201910-4: ruby-rdoc: cross-site scripting
Summary
- CVE-2012-6708 (cross-site scripting)
jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors
from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery
determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character
anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when
attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery
only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<'
character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control
the beginning of a string, which is far less common.
- CVE-2015-9251 (cross-site scripting)
jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks
when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType
option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.
Resolution
Upgrade to 6.1.2-1.
# pacman -Syu "ruby-rdoc>=6.1.2-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 6.1.2.
