Resolution
All Ruby on Rails 2.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync

Affected Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-ruby/rails < 2.3.18 >= 2.3.18 * ------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Packages marked with asterisks require manual intervention!
Impact
===== A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary SQL commands, change parameter names for form inputs and make changes to arbitrary records in the system, bypass intended access restrictions, render arbitrary views, inject arbitrary web script or HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
