Subject: Re: Re: SQL Injection Vulnerability in Ruby on Rails
(CVE-2012-5664)
CVE-2012-5664 has been referenced in at least one published security
update to refer to the "root" problem in Active Record's dynamic
finders:
http://lists.debian.org/20130104221128.GA24542@ngolde.de
Are there any updates on the "draft" resolution proposed below? (I'm
reluctant to change our triage to reflect the draft below until I've
heard more details; our data currently matches the published DSA.)
Thanks
