DESCRIPTION
Oracle "enhanced" ActiveRecord Gem for Ruby contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user-supplied input related to the :limit and :offset functions. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
