Overview

rack is a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby.

Affected versions of this Gem are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Disclosure. Rack contains a flaw as the Rack::File function creates temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a local attacker to use a symlink attack to traverse to an arbitrary file and disclose its contents
