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

  - The example code for the digest authentication functionality (http_authentication.rb) in Ruby on Rails
    before 2.3.3 defines an authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest block that returns nil instead of false
    when the user does not exist, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass authentication for
    applications that are derived from this example by sending an invalid username without a password.
    (CVE-2009-2422)

The remote web server appears to use a version of Ruby on Rails that contains a vulnerability in its HTTP Digest authentication support. Specifically, the 'authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest' function in 'lib/action_controller/http_authentication.rb' of the 'actionpack' gem does not treat a 'nil' response as an authentication failure but instead continues to compare that to the password supplied by the user.  A remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to gain access to a page protected using HTTP Digest authentication by sending as part of the request a nil username / password or any username and no password.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6.x that is prior to 10.6.3.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200912-02 (Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    The following vulnerabilities were discovered:
    sameer     reported that lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb removes the     :cookie_only attribute from the default session options     (CVE-2007-6077), due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-5380 (GLSA     200711-17).
    Tobias Schlottke reported that the :limit and     :offset parameters of ActiveRecord::Base.find() are not properly     sanitized before being processed (CVE-2008-4094).
    Steve from     Coderrr reported that the CRSF protection in protect_from_forgery()     does not parse the text/plain MIME format (CVE-2008-7248).
    Nate reported a documentation error that leads to the assumption     that a block returning nil passed to     authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest() would deny access to the     requested resource (CVE-2009-2422).
    Brian Mastenbrook reported     an input sanitation flaw, related to multibyte characters     (CVE-2009-3009).
    Gabe da Silveira reported an input sanitation     flaw in the strip_tags() function (CVE-2009-4214).
    Coda Hale     reported an information disclosure vulnerability related to HMAC     digests (CVE-2009-3086).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to a vulnerable     application, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary SQL     statements or a circumvention of access control. A remote attacker     could also conduct session fixation attacks to hijack a user's session     or bypass the CSRF protection mechanism, or furthermore conduct     Cross-Site Scripting attacks or forge a digest via multiple attempts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
