    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2604-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst January 09, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : rails
    Vulnerability : insufficient input validation
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-0156
    Debian Bug : 697722

    It was discovered that Rails, the Ruby web application development
    framework, performed insufficient validation on input parameters,
    allowing unintended type conversions. An attacker may use this to
    bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and
    execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on the application.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.5-1.2+squeeze4.1.

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

    We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.
