The fix is located here:

I don't see a CVE name associated with the announcement or commit, so
I don't believe one has been assigned.

Agreed, user controlled file creation in this manner is definitely a
security issue.

Please use CVE-2012-4522 for this issue.

Thank you.

I've added the mention about the CVE number to the announcement
on Ruby Web SIte.
