CVE-2007-6077 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade rails to version 1.2.6 or higher.
Overview
rails is an opensource MVC web framework.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation. The session fixation protection mechanism in cgi_process.rb in 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.
