Andres Salomon noticed a problem in the CGI session + management of Ruby, an object-oriented scripting language. + CGI::Session's FileStore (and presumably PStore) + implementations store session information insecurely. + They simply create files, ignoring permission issues. + This can lead an attacker who has also shell access to the + webserver to take over a session.
