+	  <p>The attr_protected method allows developers to specify a blacklist
+	     of model attributes which users should not be allowed to assign to.
+	     By using a specially crafted request, attackers could circumvent
+             this protection and alter values that were meant to be protected.</p>
+	  <p>All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use
+	     one of the work arounds immediately. Users should also consider
+	     switching from attr_protected to the whitelist method
+             attr_accessible which is not vulnerable to this attack.</p>
