CVE Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server and Tomcat 5.x before 5.5.22 and 6.x before 6.0.10, when using certain proxy modules (mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, mod_jk), allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence with combinations of (1) "/" (slash), (2) "\" (backslash), and (3) URL-encoded backslash (%5C) characters in the URL, which are valid separators in Tomcat but not in Apache.

CVE Informations

Related Weaknesses

CWE-ID Weakness Name Source
CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
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.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 29739

Publication date : 2007-03-13 23h00 +00:00
Author : D. Matscheko
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/22960/info Apache HTTP servers running with the Tomcat servlet container are prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. Exploiting this issue allows attackers to access arbitrary files in the Tomcat webroot. This can expose sensitive information that could help the attacker launch further attacks. Versions in the 5.0 series prior to 5.5.22 and in the 6.0 series prior to 6.0.10 are vulnerable. http://www.example.com/foo/\../manager/html
