Debian 11 Rails Critical RCE Vulnerability DLA-4578-1 CVE-2022-32224

Dist Debian Esm H88
Ruby on Rails faces critical Remote Code Execution risk. Update now for Debian LTS to secure your applications effectively.
A RCE (Remote Code Execution) escalation was discovered in Ruby on Rails, a MVC Ruby-based framework for web development

Summary

This vulnerability exists when using YAML-serialized columns in Active
Record which could allow an attacker, who was able to manipulate data
in the database (via means like SQL injection), the ability to
escalate to an RCE.

Common and safe YAML serialization is handled in this update (support
for primary Ruby data types and Symbol, as well as newly-serialized
HashWithIndifferentAccess objects).

If your application serializes other classes as YAML, see the
following page to reference these classes in
config.active_record.yaml_column_permitted_classes, or disable
protection entirely (not recommended, at your own risks) with
config.active_record.use_yaml_unsafe_load=true.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
2:6.0.3.7+dfsg-2+deb11u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.
