Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2012-08-24 13:43:29 UTC

Kurt, do you believe actionpack in EPEL-5 should be affected?  It's rubygem-actionpack-2.1.1-5.el5 and upstream explicitly list 3.x affected, and 2.3.5 - 2.3.14 as unaffected (but there's no mention of earlier 2.x versions).

Comment 2 Michael Stahnke 2014-10-22 06:25:11 UTC

 CVE-2012-3424 does not affect 2.3.x.
