So the packages in question are: rubygem-actionmailer, rubygem-actionpack, rubygem-activerecord, rubygem-activeresource, rubygem-activesupport, rubygem-rails, rubygem-rack and rubygems. These are relevant bugzillas:

Looks scary, but it the end it`s just rails, rubygems and rack. All of these are co-maintained with Michael Stahnke, which I have no luck contacting either. There are actually more unfixed vulnerabilities, but I am confident they can be fixed by more active maintainers.



Hey, sorry for not getting some of these updated (you also didn't stay on #fedora-ruby long enough for me to respond). I find that updating many of these breaks API, because ruby library authors are really good at fixing security problems while introducing new issues. Many of them I didn't think I could update in EPEL -- for example moving rails from 2.x to 3.x is a HUGE change. 

Rubygems got rolled into ruby upstream - so the old rubygems isn't maintained upstream.

Rack I should fix - they are good at compatibility. 


I also welcome any co-maintainers on these items. I used to use these packages lots from EPEL, at my current workplace I don't really.
