Update Ruby now before it goes off the Rails

Ruby on Rails is an open source Web application framework built to use with the Ruby programming language. The mass assignments vulnerability is the Ruby equivalent of SQL injection. A successful exploit can allow attackers to take over a website, or steal value data from the underlying databases. The issue affects any server where the XML parser is active–which it is by default. A possible workaround is to disable the XML parsing, but if your applications need to process XML input you’re going to have a problem. New versions of Ruby are available which patch these vulnerabilities.”]
