Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Apple Mac OS X (Operating System). This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in xftpd in the FTP Server component in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.8 allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories by using the root directory as the starting point of a recursive listing.

The weakness was disclosed 06/24/2011 as HT4723 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared for download at support.apple.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2011-0203 since 12/23/2010.
