CVE-2013-0256 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:12.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-defaults package and not the ruby-defaults package as distributed by Ubuntu.
darkfish.js in RDoc 2.3.0 through 3.12 and 4.x before 4.0.0.preview2.1, as used in Ruby, does not properly generate documents, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted URL.
