Directory traversal vulnerability in AFP Server in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.x before 10.6.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by creating files that are outside the bounds of a share.
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.
