Got my Ruby/Ruby on rails mixed up. Various methods in WEBrick::HTTPRequest in Ruby 1.9.2-p290 and 1.8.7-p352 and earlier and do not validate the X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Server headers in requests, which might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary text into log files or bypass intended address parsing via a crafted header. https://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5418 Can we get a CVE for this please? -Kurt Seifried / Red Hat Security Response Team
