First published: Mon Mar 03 2008(Updated: )
<a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/03/03/webrick-file-access-vulnerability/">http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2008/03/03/webrick-file-access-vulnerability/</a> WEBrick, a standard library of Ruby to implement HTTP servers, has file access vulnerability. 1. Systems that accept backslash (\) as a path separator, such as Windows. 2. Systems that use case insensitive filesystems such as NTFS on Windows, HFS on Mac OS X. Attacker can access private files by sending a url with url encoded backslash (\). This works only on systems that accept backslash as a path separator. Or they could bypass restrictions with case-insensitive filesystems.
