    Summary: Security update for rubygem-passenger

    Details: This update for rubygem-passenger fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed: - CVE-2017-16355: When Passenger was running as root it was possible to list the contents of arbitrary files on a system by symlinking a file named REVISION from the application root folder to a file of choice and querying passenger-status --show=xml (bsc#1073255). - CVE-2017-1000384: Introduces a new check that logs a vulnerability warning if Passenger is run with root permissions while the directory permissions of (parts of) its root dir allow modifications by non-root users (bsc#1068874).
