NVD Description

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

Phusion Passenger gem before 3.0.21 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 for Ruby allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevent application start) or gain privileges by pre-creating a temporary "config" file in a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/ before it is used by the gem.
