Directory traversal vulnerability in the web request/response interface in Appserver before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to read normally inaccessible files via a .. (dot dot) in a crafted 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.
