Default Ruby on Rails updates fix security holes

From http://www.h-online.com/security/new...s-1187641.html

Quote:
The Ruby on Rails developers have released version 2.3.11 and 3.0.4 of Ruby on Rails which are maintenance and security updates that address four security vulnerabilities in the open source web framework. According to the developers, the latest updates address a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the mail_to helper when used with the :encode => :javascript option, as well as a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that could allow an attacker to circumvent built-in protections.

All versions up to and including 2.3.10 and 3.0.3 are said to be affected.
