    Package : rails
    Vulnerability : input validation error
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-5664

    joernchen of Phenoelit discovered that rails, an MVC ruby based framework geared for web application development, is not properly treating
    user-supplied input to "find_by_*" methods. Depending on how the ruby
    on rails application is using these methods, this allows an attacker
    to perform SQL injection attacks, e.g., to bypass authentication if
    Authlogic is used and the session secret token is known.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.5-1.2+squeeze4.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in ruby-activerecord-2.3 version 2.3.14-3.


    We recommend that you upgrade your rails/ruby-activerecord-2.3 packages.
