DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Ruby on Rails, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the Active Record interface via nested query
parameters is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL
queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

NOTE: A weakness also exists in the parameter parsing of Rack when
using ActionPack and may allow the insertion of "IS NULL" where
clauses into SQL queries.

This is related to:
SA49297

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.2.6, 3.1.6, or 3.0.14 or apply patch.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Ernie Miller, Gabriel Quadros, Takeshi Terada of
Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, and Tomás D'Stefano.
