Directory traversal vulnerability in the CExpressViewerControl class in the DWF Viewer ActiveX control (AdView.dll 9.0.0.96), as used in Revit Architecture 2009 SP2 and Autodesk Design Review 2009, allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via "..\" sequences in the argument to the SaveAS 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.
