A vulnerability is found on Ruby on Rails in the escaping code for the form
helpers, which also affects the rpms shipped in Fedora Project. Attackers who
can inject deliberately malformed unicode strings into the form helpers can
defeat the escaping checks and inject arbitrary HTML. This issue has been tagged
as CVE-2009-3009.    These new rpms will fix this issue.
