NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-actionpack-2.3 package and not the ruby-actionpack-2.3 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Active Model 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.
