The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201412-28 (Ruby on Rails: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ruby on Rails. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of       Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to execute       arbitrary SQL commands, change parameter names for form inputs and make       changes to arbitrary records in the system, bypass intended access       restrictions, render arbitrary views, inject arbitrary web script or       HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
