Descriptions
Phusion Passenger gem before 3.0.21 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 for Ruby allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevent application start) or gain privileges by pre-creating a temporary "config" file in a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/ before it is used by the gem.
Las versiones 3.0.21 y 4.0.x anteriores a 4.0.5 de la gema Phusion Passenger para Ruby permite a usuarios locales causar denegación de servicio (prevención de inicio de la aplicación) u obtener privilegios creando un fichero "config" temporal en un directorio con un nombre predecible en /tmp/ antes de que sea utilizado por la gema.
rubygem-passenger is a web server for Ruby, Python and Node.js applications. The rubygem-passenger gem created and re-used temporary directories and files in an insecure fashion. A local attacker could use these flaws to conduct a denial of service attack, take over the operation of the application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running rubygem-passenger. Note: By default, OpenShift Enterprise uses polyinstantiation for the /tmp/ directory, thereby minimizing the risk and impact of exploitation by local attackers of both CVE-2013-2119 and CVE-2013-4136.
