Log Message:
Update ruby-actionpack package to 2.3.14:

2.3.14:

Security Fix:

1. The code in Ruby on Rails 2.3 which sets the response content type
   performs insufficient sanitization of the values provided.  This
   means that applications which let the user provide an arbitrary
   Content-Type header for the response are vulnerable to response
   splitting attacks.

2. The strip_tags helper in Ruby on Rails is designed to remove all
   HTML tags from a string.  By using specially crafted values an
   attacker can confuse the parser and cause HTML tags to be injected
   into the response.  This can be exploited to inject arbitrary
   javascript into the rendered page.

   Future releases of Ruby on Rails are likely to replace the current
   HTML tokenizer with one provided by libxml to reduce the likelihood
   of errors such as these in the future.  In the meantime users can
   install the loofah gem[1] which should enhance both the performance
   and reliability of the HTML sanitization helpers.
