Background
Jubatus is an open-source machine learning framework that provides various algorithms for data analysis and prediction. It is commonly used for building scalable and distributed machine learning systems. However, versions 1.0.2 and earlier of Jubatus are vulnerable to a directory traversal attack, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files through unspecified vectors.
