On Friday 11th January 2013, Tableau released a new version of Tableau V7 – version 7.0.12.
This version includes an important security patch for Tableau server (Versions 7.0 and higher). The patch addresses multiple vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails code, an open source web development framework that is a component of the Tableau Server architecture.
Tableau strongly recommends upgrading to Tableau Server version 7.0.12 as soon as possible, particularly if your Tableau server is internet facing.
For a detailed description of the vulnerabilities, see the Ruby on Rails website:
http://weblog.rubyonrails.org.
