CVE-2014-0081 actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/number_helper.rb contains multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities CVE-2014-0082 actionpack/lib/action_view/template/text.rb performs symbol interning on MIME type strings, allowing remote denial-of-service attacks via increased memory consumption.
