NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-rack package and not the ruby-rack package as distributed by Ubuntu.

rack/file.rb (Rack::File) in Rack 1.5.x before 1.5.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.5 allows attackers to access arbitrary files outside the intended root directory via a crafted PATH_INFO environment variable, probably a directory traversal vulnerability that is remotely exploitable, aka "symlink path traversals."
