CVE-2013-0256.rdoc

= RDoc 2.3.0 through 3.12 XSS Exploit

RDoc documentation generated by rdoc 2.3.0 through rdoc 3.12 and prereleases up
to rdoc 4.0.0.preview2.1 are vulnerable to an XSS exploit.  This exploit may
lead to cookie disclosure to third parties.

The exploit exists in darkfish.js which is copied from the RDoc install
location to the generated documentation.

RDoc is a static documentation generation tool.  Patching the library itself
is insufficient to correct this exploit.  Those hosting rdoc documentation will
need to apply the following patch.  If applied while ignoring whitespace, this
patch will correct all affected versions:
