The commit for the arbitrary file read vulnerability mentioned in the
Gentoo bug report is actually this one:

https://github.com/phusion/passenger/commit/4043718264095cde6623c2cbe8c644541036d7bf


Is passenger-status the only way to obtain the content of the target
file?  If so, this problem is mitigated in versions prior to 5.0.10
where root privileges were required to get the status information.


Yes, that is accurate as far as I'm aware.
