An issue was discovered in the mozwire crate through 2020-08-18 for Rust. A ../ directory-traversal situation allows overwriting local files that have .conf at the end of the filename.
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.
