Debian : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Directory traversal)

The default installation of Apache before 1.3.19 allows remote attackers to list directories instead of the multiview index.html file via an HTTP request for a path that contains many / (slash) characters, which causes the path to be mishandled by (1) mod_negotiation, (2) mod_dir, or (3) mod_autoindex.

Directory traversal vulnerability in nph-mr.cgi in Mailreader.com 2.3.20 through 2.3.31 allows remote attackers to view arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences and a null byte (%00) in the configLanguage parameter.

Directory traversal vulnerability in fsp before 2.81.b18 allows remote users to access files outside the FSP root directory.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the -x (extract) command line option in unarj allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via an arj archive with filenames that contain .. (dot dot) sequences.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 on Linux allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) and URL-encoded / (slash) characters in a resource: URI.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 allows remote attackers to bypass "restrictions imposed on local HTML files," and obtain sensitive information and prompt users to write this information into a file, via directory traversal sequences in a resource: URI.

Directory traversal vulnerability in framework/Image/Image.php in Horde before 3.2.4 and 3.3.3 and Horde Groupware before 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the Horde_Image driver name.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Lintian 1.23.x through 1.23.28, 1.24.x through 1.24.2.1, and 2.x before 2.3.2 allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files or obtain sensitive information via vectors involving (1) control field names, (2) control field values, and (3) control files of patch systems.

Directory traversal vulnerability in libtransmission/metainfo.c in Transmission 1.22, 1.34, 1.75, and 1.76 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname within a .torrent file.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the dpkg-source component in dpkg before 1.14.29 allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary files via a crafted Debian source archive.

Directory traversal vulnerability in dpkg-source in dpkg before 1.14.31 and 1.15.x allows user-assisted remote attackers to modify arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in a patch for a source-format 3.0 package.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 2.x and 3.x before 3.3 allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an entry in (1) an XSLT JAR filter description file, (2) an Extension (aka OXT) file, or unspecified other (3) JAR or (4) ZIP files.

soffice in OpenOffice.org (OOo) 3.x before 3.3 places a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory.

Yaws 1.91 has a directory traversal vulnerability in the way certain URLs are processed. A remote authenticated user could use this flaw to obtain content of arbitrary local files via specially-crafted URL request.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the BusyBox implementation of tar before 1.22.0 v5 allows remote attackers to point to files outside the current working directory via a symlink.

The FilePath::ReferencesParent function in files/file_path.cc in Google Chrome before 29.0.1547.57 on Windows does not properly handle pathname components composed entirely of . (dot) and whitespace characters, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks via a crafted directory name.

Directory traversal vulnerability in wiki.c in didiwiki allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the page parameter to api/page/get.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the unpacking functionality in dpkg before 1.15.9, 1.16.x before 1.16.13, and 1.17.x before 1.17.8 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files via a crafted source package, related to "C-style filename quoting."

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in (1) mod_evhost and (2) mod_simple_vhost in lighttpd before 1.4.35 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the host name, related to request_check_hostname.

dpkg 1.15.9 on Debian squeeze introduces support for the "C-style encoded filenames" feature without recognizing that the squeeze patch program lacks this feature, which triggers an interaction error that allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and modify files outside of the intended directories via a crafted source package. NOTE: this can be considered a release engineering problem in the effort to fix CVE-2014-0471.

dpkg 1.15.9, 1.16.x before 1.16.14, and 1.17.x before 1.17.9 expect the patch program to be compliant with a need for the "C-style encoded filenames" feature, but is supported in environments with noncompliant patch programs, which triggers an interaction error that allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and modify files outside of the intended directories via a crafted source package. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of reliance on unrealistic constraints on the behavior of an external program.

Directory traversal vulnerability in dpkg-source in dpkg-dev 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to modify files outside of the intended directories via a crafted source package that lacks a --- header line.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in dpkg-source in dpkg-dev 1.3.0 allow remote attackers to modify files outside of the intended directories via a source package with a crafted Index: pseudo-header in conjunction with (1) missing --- and +++ header lines or (2) a +++ header line with a blank pathname.

The create_response function in server/server.c in Psensor before 1.1.4 allows Directory Traversal because it lacks a check for whether a file is under the webserver directory.

A Directory Traversal vulnerability exists in the GNU patch before 2.7.4. A remote attacker can write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack in a patch file. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1196.
