A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Trend Micro OfficeScan 7.3/8.0 (Anti-Malware Software). Affected is the function UpdateAgent
of the file TmListen.exe of the component Listener. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:
