CVE-2018-12029
GHSA-jjcj-fgfm-9g9r
Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization (Race Condition) A race condition in the nginx module in Phusion Passenger allows local escalation of privileges when a non-standard `passenger_instance_registry_dir` with insufficiently strict permissions is configured. Replacing a file with a symlink after the file was created, but before it was chowned, leads to the target of the link being chowned via the path. Targeting sensitive files such as root's crontab file allows privilege escalation.

Aliases:
CVE-2015-7519
GHSA-fxwv-953p-7qpf
Header overwriting It is possible in some cases, for clients to overwrite headers set by the server, resulting in a medium level security issue. Passenger 5 uses an SCGI-inspired format to pass headers to Ruby/Python applications, while Passenger 4 uses an SCGI-inspired format to pass headers to all applications. This implies a conversion to UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES whereby the difference between characters like '-' and '_' is lost. See "Affected use-cases" in provided link to establish wether one particular application is affected.

CVE-2018-12615
GHSA-4284-jfhc-f854
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource An issue was discovered in Phusion Passenger. The set of groups (gidset) is not set correctly, leaving it up to randomness (i.e., uninitialized memory) which supplementary groups are actually being set while lowering privileges.
