Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in IBM Tivoli Monitoring up to 6.3.0.7 SP21. Affected is an unknown function of the component URL Handler. 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:

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0.7 through 6.3.0.7 Service Pack 21 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
