Gnapster Absolute Path Name Request Arbitrary File Access

high Nessus Plugin ID 10408

Synopsis

The remote host has a P2P file sharing application installed.

Description

An insecure Napster clone (e.g. Gnapster or Knapster) is running on the remote computer, which allows an intruder to read arbitrary files on this system, regardless of the shared status of the files.

Solution

If this is Gnapster, upgrade to version 1.3.9 or later, as this reportedly fixes the issue.
