CVE-2006-4112: Rails Denial of Service vulnerability

October 24, 2017 (updated April 3, 2025)

Unspecified vulnerability in the “dependency resolution mechanism” in Ruby on Rails 1.1.0 through 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby code via a URL that is not properly handled in the routing code, which leads to a denial of service (application hang) or “data loss,” a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4111.
