CVE-2006-4111
Ruby on Rails before 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute Ruby code with "severe" or "serious" impact via a File Upload request with an HTTP header that modifies the LOAD_PATH variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4112.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.33%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
