Title: Snapstream PVS Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Snapstream Personal Video Station is an application for Microsoft Windows which allows users to record video output on their PC and view it at a later time, locally or via an HTTP interface. The Snapstream PVS web interface runs on port 8129.
Snapstream PVS is prone to attacks which allow a remote user to break out of the wwwroot and browse the filesystem at large.
The issue is that Snapstream PVS does not filter '../' sequences from web requests. Remote attackers may craft a web request which can traverse directories and access arbitrary web-readable files.
The impact of exploiting this vulnerability is that confidential information may be disclosed to the attacker and follow-up attacks against the host may occur.
If exploited conjunction with Bugtraq ID 3101, a remote attacker can gain the administrative password for Snapstream.
Affected Products:
- Snapstream Personal Video Station 1.2.0a
