There was a possible directory traversal vulnerability in the Rack::Directory app that is bundled with Rack.
If certain directories exist in a director that is managed by `Rack::Directory`, an attacker could, using this vulnerability, read the contents of files on the server that were outside of the root specified in the Rack::Directory initializer.
For Debian 8 Jessie
, this problem has been fixed in version
1.5.2-3+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-rack packages.
