Description:

   This update for rubygem-passenger fixes several issues.

   These security issues were fixed:

   - CVE-2017-16355: When Passenger was running as root it was possible to
     list the contents of arbitrary files on a system by symlinking a file
     named REVISION from the application root folder to a file of choice and
     querying passenger-status --show=xml (bsc#1073255).
   - CVE-2017-1000384: Introduces a new check that logs a vulnerability
     warning if Passenger is run with root permissions while the directory
     permissions of (parts of) its root dir allow modifications by non-root
     users (bsc#1068874).
