Subject: [rails-oceania] If you use MySQL (and Rails)... vulnerability
warning
To: [email protected]


Well, here's a vulnerability that's not widespread (yet) and the author's
released the info in public after being told by the rails core team that
it's up to the libraries to fix this:

http://www.phenoelit.org/blog/archives/2013/02/05/mysql_madness_and_rails/

Since not a lot of people are talking about this vulnerability on the
Twitterverse I assume many of you haven't come across it either.

I've verified that the exploit works, so if you are effected I suggest you
patch your apps immediately (`to_s` on your relevent param would do).
