Description Adam Mariš 2016-02-19 10:38:20 UTC
Code injection vulnerability in Action Pack was found, possibly leading to remote code execution. Applications that pass unverified user input to the `render` method in a controller may be vulnerable to a code injection.

Impacted code will look like this:

```ruby
class TestController < ApplicationController
  def show
    render params[:id]
  end
end
```

Carefully crafted request parameters, can be used to coerce the above example to execute arbitrary ruby code.

A workaround to this issue is to not pass arbitrary user input to the `render`
method. Instead, verify that data before passing it to the `render` method.

Versions Affected:  3.2.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 4.2.x
Not affected:       5.0+
Fixed Versions:     3.2.22.2, 4.1.14.2, 4.2.5.2
