Package        : ruby-activesupport-3.2
Version        : 3.2_3.2.6-6+deb7u3
CVE ID         : CVE-2016-0753

Active Support in Ruby on Rails 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before
4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 supports the use of instance-level
writers for class accessors, which allows remote attackers to bypass
intended validation steps via crafted parameters.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
3.2_3.2.6-6+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-activesupport-3.2 packages.
