SCA: security update for rails (GHSA-p4c6-77gc-694x)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421877

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The session fixation protection mechanism in cgi_process.rb in Rails 1.2.4, as used in Ruby on Rails,
 removes the :cookie_only attribute from the DEFAULT_SESSION_OPTIONS constant, which effectively causes
 cookie_only to be applied only to the first instantiation of CgiRequest, which allows remote attackers to
 conduct session fixation attacks. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-5380.
 (CVE-2007-6077)
