Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Roman Marxer Ganeti up to 2.1.0. Affected is some unknown functionality. 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, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the iallocator framework in Ganeti 1.2.4 through 1.2.8, 2.0.0 through 2.0.4, and 2.1.0 before 2.1.0~rc2 allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a crafted external script name supplied through the HTTP remote API (RAPI) and allow (2) local users to execute arbitrary programs and gain privileges via a crafted external script name supplied through a gnt-* command, related to "path sanitization errors."

The weakness was presented 12/21/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at groups.google.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2009-4261. The exploitability is told to be easy.
