Directory traversal vulnerability in parse_xml.cg Apple Darwin Streaming Server 4.1.2 and Apple Quicktime Streaming Server 4.1.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ... (triple dot) in the filename parameter.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
