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 craftedPATH_INFOenvironment variable, probably a directory traversal vulnerability that is remotely exploitable, aka "symlink path traversals."References
