Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Serv-U up to 7.0.0.2 (File Transfer Software). Affected is an unknown code block. 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:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Serv-U before 9.2.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was disclosed 04/27/2010 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2009-4815 since 04/27/2010.
