Date Reported:

30 Sep 2016

Affected Packages:

ruby-activerecord-3.2

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2016-0753.

More information:

Active Record in Ruby on Rails 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before 4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 supports the use of instance-level writers for class accessors, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended validation steps via crafted parameters.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.6-5+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-activerecord-3.2 packages.
