CVE-2017-17042 rubygem-yard: (lib/yard/core_ext/file.rb) is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks
Last modified: 2018-02-12 04:52:58 EST
A component of the rubygem-yard library (lib/yard/core_ext/file.rb) that is used by the yard document generation server does not block relative paths with an initial ../ sequence, which allows attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files.
