Disable YAML parsing in ActiveSupport's XmlMini to avoid a Rails exploit via a XML payload containing YAML type nodes. I don't know of any apps needing to embed YAML in a XML and getting Rails to auto parse the payload so I think this is a pretty safe patch.
ActiveSupport::XmlMini::FORMATTING.update("yaml" => Proc.new{|yaml| yaml.to_s })
ActiveSupport::XmlMini::PARSING.update("yaml" => Proc.new{|yaml| yaml.to_s })
