 Package : ruby-sinatra Version : 2.0.5-4+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-29970 Debian Bug : 1014717

 A file traversal vulnerability was discovered in src:ruby-sinatra, a popular web server often used with Ruby on Rails. We now validate that any expanded paths match the allowed `public_dir` when serving static files.
