For this very reason I patched a version of Rails 3.2.8 with the following patch files distributed by the ror-security mailing list[1]:

3-2-dynamic_finder_injection.patch 3-2-null_array_param.patch 3-2-xml_parsing.patch

The changelogs didn't cleanly apply but everything else did. In your Gemfile,

gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/adamonduty/rails', :branch => '3.2.8_with_security_patches'

This will install version 3.2.8a. If you get a bundler error "NoMethodError: undefined method [] for nil:NilClass", try upgrading your rubygems-bundler gem to version 1.1.0.

See https://github.com/adamonduty/rails/tree/3.2.8_with_security... for the commits.

Given the number of changes and known issues in 3.2.9, I don't understand why the core team didn't perform a similar release.

I believe I am also seeing these issues in 3.1.10.
