Hey,


I need to find out the impact of vulnerability: CVE-2013-1854 Symbol DoS vulnerability in Active Record

Is there a way I can test my application with DoS attack by doing some manual code or something like that.

On rails console, I tried to do something like:
User.where(:email => {:email => 'test'})

> SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE `email`.`email` = 'test'

it gave "ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:" exception.
How would requests like this lead to DoS attack. Its just like any other invalid sql.


Please help me out with the reference to example(s) causing mentioned vulnerabilities.

Thanks
