Directory traversal vulnerability in IBM Optim Performance Manager for DB2 4.1.0.1 through 4.1.1 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows and IBM InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager for DB2 5.1 through 5.3.1 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a URL.
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.
