Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Sun Java System Identity Manager up to 7.0 (Programming Language Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /idm/includes/helpServer.jsp. The manipulation of the argument ext 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. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in idm/includes/helpServer.jsp in Sun Java System Identity Manager 6.0 through 6.0 SP4, 7.0, and 7.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files in the filesystem of the IDM server via directory traversal sequences in the ext parameter.
