CVE-2014-3482 rubygem-activerecord: SQL injection vulnerability in 'bitstring' quoting
Last modified: 2016-04-26 10:09:14 EDT
An SQL injection flaw was found in the PostgreSQL adapter for Active Record. An attacker could possibly perform SQL injection attacks if a Ruby on Rails application performed queries against the bitstring type. This issue affects versions 2.0.0-3.2.18 and newer. It is reported that versions 4.0 and newer are not affected. Acknowledgements: 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.

CFME doesn't use any bitstring fields in the database backend. But we should rebase activerecord at some point.
SAM-1 doesn't use any bitstring fields in the database backend. But we should rebase activerecord at some point.
