Directory traversal vulnerability in sla/index.php in the Local Management Interface (LMI) on the IBM Proventia Network Mail Security System (PNMSS) appliance with firmware before 2.5 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the l parameter, related to an "Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability."
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.
