Novell GroupWise Document Viewer Agent Arbitrary File Download

high Nessus Plugin ID 50690

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is susceptible to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The installed version of GroupWise Document Viewer agent fails to perform sufficient validation on a user specified file name supplied to 'filename' parameter before returning the contents of the file.

By supplying directory traversal strings such as '../' in a specially crafted 'GET' request, it may be possible for a remote, unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the remote system.

Solution

Apply the 8.02 Hot Patch 1 or later.
