Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

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.
