Directory traversal vulnerability in the web configuration interface in Netgear FM114P 1.4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, such as the netgear.cfg configuration file, via a hex-encoded (%2e%2e%2f) ../ (dot dot slash) in the port 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.
