Improper Input Validation
The Mail gem for Ruby allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a (1) sendmail or (2) exim delivery.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Directory traversal vulnerability in lib/puppet/reports/store.rb in Puppet before 2.6.17 and 2.7.x before 2.7.18, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.5.2, when Delete is enabled in auth.conf, allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files on the puppet master server via a .. (dot dot) in a node name.

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
lib/rack/multipart.rb in Rack  uses an incorrect regular expression, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted Content-Disposion header.

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
Unspecified vulnerability in Rack::Auth::AbstractRequest in Rack  allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors related to "symbolized arbitrary strings."

actionpack Improper Authentication vulnerability
The `decode_credentials` method in `actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/http_authentication.rb` in Ruby on Rails before 3.0.16, 3.1.x before 3.1.7, and 3.2.x before 3.2.7 converts Digest Authentication strings to symbols, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by leveraging access to an application that uses a `with_http_digest` helper method, as demonstrated by the `authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest` method.

activerecord vulnerable to SQL Injection
The Active Record component in Ruby on Rails efore 2.3.15, 3.0.x before 3.0.14, 3.1.x before 3.1.6, and 3.2.x before 3.2.6 does not properly implement the passing of request data to a where method in an ActiveRecord class, which allows remote attackers to conduct certain SQL injection attacks via nested query parameters that leverage improper handling of nested hashes, a related issue to CVE-2012-2661.

Ruby on Rails Potential XSS Vulnerability in select_tag prompt
When a value for the `prompt` field is supplied to the `select_tag` helper, the value is not escaped. If untrusted data is not escaped, and is supplied as the prompt value, there is a potential for XSS attacks.

actionpack Cross-site Scripting vulnerability
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in `actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/sanitize_helper.rb` in the `strip_tags` helper in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.16, 3.0.x before 3.0.17, 3.1.x before 3.1.8, and 3.2.x before 3.2.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via malformed HTML markup.

Puppet Denial of Service and Arbitrary File Write
Unspecified vulnerability in Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 and 2.7.x before 2.7.13, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) Users 1.0, 1.1, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.5.x before 2.5.1 allows remote authenticated users with agent SSL keys to (1) cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a REST request to a stream that triggers a thread block, as demonstrated using CVE-2012-1986 and /dev/random; or (2) cause a denial of service (filesystem consumption) via crafted REST requests that use "a marshaled form of a Puppet::FileBucket::File object" to write to arbitrary file locations.
