Update Information:

Two security issues are found on activepack shipped on Fedora 10.  One bug is
that there is a weakness in the strip_tags function in ruby on rails (bug
542786, CVE-2009-4214). Another one is a possibility to circumvent protection
against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks (bug 544329).    This new rpm
will fix these issues.
