Emerson Network Power Avocent MergePoint Unity KVM Switch < 1.14 / 1.18 download.php filename Parameter Directory Traversal

medium Nessus Plugin ID 72336

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is an Emerson Network Power Avocent MergePoint Unity KVM Switch with a firmware version prior to 1.14 or 1.18. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'filename' parameter of the 'download.php' script. An authenticated attacker can potentially exploit this vulnerability to gain access to arbitrary files.

Solution

Upgrade to firmware version 1.14 / 1.18, or later.
