An attacker with non-administrative authorizations can exploit a directory traversal flaw in program SAPRSBRO to over-write system files. In this attack, no data can be read but potentially critical OS files can be over-written making the system unavailable.
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.
