Directory traversal vulnerability in the DumpToFile method in the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control in Agent Manager in NetIQ Sentinel allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via a crafted pathname.
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.
