+	  <p>When parsing certain JSON documents, the JSON gem can be coerced in
+	     to creating Ruby symbols in a target system. Since Ruby symbols
+	     are not garbage collected, this can result in a denial of service
+             attack.</p>
+	  <p>The same technique can be used to create objects in a target system
+	     that act like internal objects. These "act alike" objects can be
+	     used to bypass certain security mechanisms and can be used as a
+	     spring board for SQL injection attacks in Ruby on Rails.</p>
