Rather than fess up with full disclosure to the new rails hole, we're told to update to rails 1.1.5 to fix an unspecified security problem
How difficult is it to diff two source trees and find patched code? Seriously.
Looking at the diff between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5, a few changes are apparent:
and this nice little test function:
def test_sql_injection_via_find
assert_raises(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) do
Topic.find("123456 OR id > 0")
end
assert_raises(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) do
Topic.find(";;; this should raise an RecordNotFound error")
end
end
I get nothing out of the IRC channels except tpope suggesting that the find() test might be a red herring to throw people off the path.
What the heck?
So I'm madly patching boxes now with some unknown fix to a problem I haven't a clue about.
Thanks guys.
