Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in mongrel 1.0.4/1.1.1/1.1.2. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown code in the library lib/mongrel/handlers.rb. 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, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:
