NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream hiki package and not the hiki package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Directory traversal vulnerability in session.rb in Hiki 0.8.0 through 0.8.6 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the session ID, which is matched against an insufficiently restrictive regular expression before it is used to construct a filename that is marked for deletion at logout.
