"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the RHSA-2016:1858 advisory.

    Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application development. Action Pack
    implements the controller and the view components.

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was discovered that Action View tag helpers did not escape quotes when using strings declared as HTML
    safe as attribute values. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS)
    attack. (CVE-2016-6316)

    Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges
    Andrew Carpenter (Critical Juncture) as the original reporter.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
