Absolute path traversal in a certain ActiveX control in hpqxml.dll 2.0.0.133 in Hewlett-Packard (HP) Photo Digital Imaging allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via the argument to the saveXMLAsFile method.
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.
