Two security issues are found on activepack shipped on Fedora 10.  One bug is
that there is a weakness in the strip_tags function in ruby on rails (bug
542786, CVE-2009-4214). Another one is a possibility to circumvent protection
against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks (bug 544329).

ChangeLog:

  * Mon Dec  7 2009 Mamoru Tasaka  - 2.1.1-5

  - Fix for potential CSRF protection circumvention (bug 544329)

  - Fix for XSS weakness in strip_tags (bug 542786)");
