Upstream has just committed a fix a security vulnerability:
https://github.com/phusion/passenger/commit/34b1087870c2
Raphael Geissert noticed[0] that the fix is incomplete:
One thing to notice, however, is that there's a race condition between
the stat check introduced in 34b1087870c2.
The following sequence still triggers the bogus behaviour:
<user> mkdir $dir
<phusion> lstat() (getFileTypeNoFollowSymlinks)
<user> rmdir $dir
<user> ln -s /target $dir
<phusion> stat() (from verifyDirectoryPermissions)
