An attacker may use this to bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on the application. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.5-1.2+squeeze4.1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.
