 Details
Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in the LiteServe web server. A remote user may view the code of certain CGI scripts.



It is reported that a remote user can submit a request for a CGI script with a dot "." character (0x2E) appended to the end of the CGI script file name to view the contents of the CGI script. This is reportedly due to the way in which Microsoft Windows-based operating systems may ignore a trailing dot character on a file name.

Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry. The vendor reportedly plans to issue a fixed



version (2.03), to be available at:
