Action View implements the view component, and Active Record implements the model component.

3. Description:
Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web
application development. Action View implements the view component, and
Active Record implements the model component.
Security Fix(es) in rubygem-actionview:
* 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)
Security Fix(es) in rubygem-activerecord:
* A flaw was found in the way Active Record handled certain special values
in dynamic finders and relations. If a Ruby on Rails application performed
JSON parameter parsing, a remote attacker could possibly manipulate search
conditions in SQL queries generated by the application. (CVE-2016-6317)
Red Hat would like to thank the Ruby on Rails project for reporting these
issues. Upstream acknowledges Andrew Carpenter (Critical Juncture) as the
original reporter of CVE-2016-6316; and joernchen (Phenoelit) as the
original reporter of CVE-2016-6317.
