Title: Viking Server Relative Path Webroot Escaping Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
The Viking Server is a freely available software package maintained and distributed by Robtex. The Viking Server provides multiple protocol service on Windows 95, 98, and NT systems.
A problem in the Viking Server makes it possible for remote users to gain access to privileged information, and potentially local access to systems using the affected software.
The problem occurs in the validation of input by external users. Upon receiving a request for a relative path, the httpd server does not adequately check input, and instead grants access to the requesting user. A request for the relative path would allow the user to view the contents of the root directory of the file system the web server is operating on. An example would be the server being installed on the D:\ drive. A user requesting a path of "\...\" would be able to leave the webroot directory, and gain access to D:\.
Affected Products:
- RobTex Viking Server 1.0.7
