The remote management interface on the Claymore Dual GPU miner 10.1 is vulnerable to an authenticated directory traversal vulnerability exploited by issuing a specially crafted request, allowing a remote attacker to read/write arbitrary files. This can be exploited via ../ sequences in the pathname to miner_file or miner_getfile.
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.
