Debian DLA-2943-1 : ruby-sidekiq - LTS security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 158819

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2943 advisory.

 - Sidekiq through 5.1.3 and 6.x through 6.2.0 allows XSS via the queue name of the live-poll feature when Internet Explorer is used. (CVE-2021-30151)

 - In api.rb in Sidekiq before 5.2.10 and 6.4.0, there is no limit on the number of days when requesting stats for the graph. This overloads the system, affecting the Web UI, and makes it unavailable to users.
 (CVE-2022-23837)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the ruby-sidekiq packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.3+dfsg-1+deb9u1.
