NVIDIA BMC contains a vulnerability in IPMI handler, where an authorized attacker can upload and download arbitrary files under certain circumstances, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure and data tampering.
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.
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
