  <title>Active Record: SQL injection</title>
  <synopsis>A vulnerability in Active Record could allow a remote attacker to
    inject SQL commands.
  </synopsis>

  <affected>
    <package name="dev-ruby/activerecord" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">2.3.14-r1</unaffected>
      <vulnerable range="lt">2.3.14-r1</vulnerable>
    </package>
  </affected>
  <background>
    <p>Active Record is a Ruby gem that allows database entries to be
      manipulated as objects.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>An Active Record method parameter can mistakenly be used as a scope.</p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>A remote attacker could use specially crafted input to execute arbitrary
      SQL statements.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>The vulnerability may be mitigated by converting the input to an
      expected value. This is accomplished by changing instances of
      ‘Post.find_by_id(params[:id])’ in code using Active Record to
      ‘Post.find_by_id(params[:id].to_s)’
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Active Record users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-ruby/activerecord-2.3.14-r1"
    </code>
