Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Huawei E585u-82 (the affected version unknown). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the file sdcard. The manipulation of the argument req_page 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:

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities on the Huawei E585 device allow remote attackers to (1) read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the PATH_INFO of an sdcard/ request or (2) modify arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the req_page parameter to en/sms.cgi.

The weakness was presented 12/19/2012 as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at kb.cert.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2012-5969 since 11/21/2012. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be done within the local network. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation.
