Synopsis

Important: ror40-rubygem-activerecord security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Important

Topic

Updated ror40-rubygem-activerecord packages that fix one security issue are
now available for Red Hat Software Collections 1.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security
impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the
References section.

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's create_with method failed to
properly check attributes passed to it. A remote attacker could possibly
use this flaw to bypass the strong parameter protection and modify
arbitrary model attributes via mass assignment if an application using
Active Record called create_with with untrusted values. (CVE-2014-3514)

All ror40-rubygem-activerecord users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
