Subject: Re: CVE request: Ruby on Rails ActiveModel::Name to_json Call Infinite Loop Remote DoS
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
As far as we can tell, the status of this is that:
https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/issues/130#issuecomment-77688439
(in, more or less, the role of the upstream vendor) suggests an
alternative interpretation in which this is a bug but not a
vulnerability. The bug has been fixed:
https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/a0580e974b4a058a983de6c593e4573bd94b76f0
As mentioned at:
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/19055#issuecomment-75798877
the bug made it possible to write code that had an unintentional
infinite loop. Apparently nobody has yet mentioned an actual or
realistic scenario in which the infinite looping can begin only after
a manipulation of input by a client.
