Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Ruby on Rails, a web
application framework.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-3086
        The cookie store may be vulnerability to a timing attack,

	A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the strip_tags
	function allows remote user-assisted attackers to inject

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed
