Directory traversal vulnerability in the FTP client in Serengeti Systems Incorporated Robo-FTP 3.7.3, and probably other versions before 3.7.5, allows remote FTP servers to write arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a filename in a server response.
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.
