--- title: "CVE-2007-6077\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2007-6077?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2007-6077 Publication date 21 November 2007 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Low** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description The session fixation protection mechanism in cgi\_process.rb in Rails 1.2.4, as used in Ruby on 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. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-5380. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | rails | 9.10 karmic | Not affected | | 9.04 jaunty | Not affected | | 8.10 intrepid | Not affected | | 8.04 LTS hardy | Not affected | | 7.10 gutsy | Fixed 1.2.4-1ubuntu1.1 | | 7.04 feisty | Ignored end of life, was needed | | 6.10 edgy | Ignored end of life, was needed | | 6.06 LTS dapper | Ignored end of life | --- * [How can I get the fixes?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) * [What do statuses mean?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#statuses) ## References * [MITRE](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6077) * [NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2007-6077) * [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/bugs/cve/CVE-2007-6077) * [Debian](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2007-6077) ### Other references * * *
