Descriptions
Directory traversal vulnerability in the Dir.mktmpdir method in the tmpdir library in Ruby before 2.2.10, 2.3.x before 2.3.7, 2.4.x before 2.4.4, 2.5.x before 2.5.1, and 2.6.0-preview1 might allow attackers to create arbitrary directories or files via a .. (dot dot) in the prefix argument.
Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en el método Dir.mktmpdir en la biblioteca tmpdir en Ruby, en versiones anteriores a la 2.2.10, versiones 2.3.x anteriores a la 2.3.7, versiones 2.4.x anteriores a la 2.4.4, versiones 2.5.x anteriores a la 2.5.1 y la versión 2.6.0-preview1, podría permitir que atacantes creen directorios o archivos arbitrarios mediante un .. (punto punto) en el argumento prefix.
It was found that the tmpdir and tempfile modules did not sanitize their file name argument. An attacker with control over the name could create temporary files and directories outside of the dedicated directory.
