Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Rails, a web application
framework written in Ruby. Both vulnerabilities affect Action Pack, which
handles the web requests for Rails.

  • CVE-2016-2097
    Crafted requests to Action View, one of the components of Action Pack,

    the result of an incomplete fix of
    CVE-2016-0752.
    This bug was found by Jyoti Singh and Tobias Kraze from Makandra.
  • CVE-2016-2098

    controller or a view, resulting in the possibility of executing
    arbitrary ruby code.
    This bug was found by Tobias Kraze from Makandra and joernchen of
    Phenoelit.
