3. Description:

Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Active Record implements object-relational mapping for accessing database entries using objects.

It was discovered that Active Record did not properly quote values of the bitstring type attributes when using the PostgreSQL database adapter. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an SQL injection attack against applications using Active Record. (CVE-2014-3482)

Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Sean Griffin of thoughtbot as the original reporter.

All ruby193-rubygem-activerecord users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
