Description

The CivetWeb web library does not validate uploaded filepaths when running on an OS other than Windows, when using the built-in HTTP form-based file upload mechanism, via the mg_handle_form_request API. Web applications that use the file upload form handler, and use parts of the user-controlled filename in the output path, are susceptible to directory traversal

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-civetweb
  • suse-upgrade-civetweb-devel
  • suse-upgrade-libcivetweb-cpp1_15_0
  • suse-upgrade-libcivetweb1_15_0

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
