Directory traversal vulnerability in Sybase EAServer 6.x before 6.3 ESD#2, as used in Appeon, Replication Server Messaging Edition (RSME), and WorkSpace, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via "../\" (dot dot forward-slash backslash) sequences in a crafted request.
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.
