Vulnerability CVE-2019-11879


Published: 2019-05-10

Description:
** DISPUTED ** The WEBrick gem 1.4.2 for Ruby allows directory traversal if the attacker once had local access to create a symlink to a location outside of the web root directory. NOTE: The vendor states that this is analogous to Options FollowSymlinks in the Apache HTTP Server, and therefore it is "not a problem."

Type:

CWE-22

(Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'))
