3. Description:

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
