According to a Debian Security Advisory :

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.
