Title: Perl-HTTPd File Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Perl-HTTPd is a web server implemented in Perl.
It has been reported that Perl-HTTPd fails to properly sanitize some web requests. By exploiting this issue, an attacker is able to traverse outside of the established web root by using dot-dot-slash (../) directory traversal sequences. An attacker may be able to obtain any web server readable files from outside of the web root directory.
Disclosure of sensitive system files may aid the attacker in launching further attacks against the target system.
This vulnerability was reported for Perl-HTTPd 1.0 and 1.0.1.
Affected Products:
- Perl-HTTPd Perl-HTTPd 1.0.0
- Perl-HTTPd Perl-HTTPd 1.0.1
