Description

This module targets a directory traversal vulnerability in the
kcms_server component from the Kodak Color Management System. By
utilizing the ToolTalk Database Server\'s TT_ISBUILD procedure, an
attacker can bypass existing directory traversal validation and
read arbitrary files.

Vulnerable systems include Solaris 2.5 - 9 SPARC and x86. Both
kcms_server and rpc.ttdbserverd must be running on the target
host.

Module Options
