Directory traversal vulnerability in Visual Synapse HTTP Server 1.0 RC1 through RC3, and 0.60 and earlier, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the URI.
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.
