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 vulnerable to a timing attack, potentially allowing remote attackers to forge message digests.
CVE-2009-4214 A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the strip_tags function allows remote user-assisted attackers to inject arbitrary web script.
