The general consensus is you cut out the rust and weld in fresh metal.

If you want to do a quick fix then get an angle grinder and grind back to remove all the scale until you are left with solid metal, which will probably be pock marked and uneven from rust ingress. Hopefully there will be no holes...
then paint with a rust inhibitor solution and leave it to convert and dry. (bottle of rust inhibitor is 15 euro).

Fill, Prime and paint.

I cannot account for the long term effectiveness of rust inhibitor solution, but I'm sure it would stall rust for a few years.
