Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Microsoft Zune (the affected version unknown) and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component ActiveX Control. 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 integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in a certain ActiveX control in Zune allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via the SaveToFile method. NOTE: the victim must explicitly allow the code to run.
