+ <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>
