Debian DSA-2982-1 : ruby-activerecord-3.2 - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 76605

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Sean Griffin discovered two vulnerabilities in the PostgreSQL adapter for Active Record which could lead to SQL injection.

Solution

Upgrade the ruby-activerecord-3.2 packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 3.2.6-5+deb7u1. Debian provides two variants of 'Ruby on Rails' in Wheezy (2.3 and 3.2). Support for the 2.3 variants had to be ceased at this point. This affects the following source packages:
ruby-actionmailer-2.3, ruby-actionpack-2.3, ruby-activerecord-2.3, ruby-activeresource-2.3, ruby-activesupport-2.3 and ruby-rails-2.3.
The version of Redmine in Wheezy still requires 2.3, you can use an updated version from backports.debian.org which is compatible with rails 3.2.
