Description:
Donato Ferrante has reported some issues in Der Herberlin BremsServer. Allowing malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting and directory traversal.
The problem is that the classic directory traversal character sequence "../" isn't properly filtered. This can be exploited to view files outside the web root.
Another problem is that the complete URL is returned unfiltered in error pages. This can be exploited to conduct Cross Site Scripting.
This has been reported to affect version 1.2.4 and prior.
Solution:
Der Herberlin BremsServer is intended as an internal or local test and development server. Do not use it in production environments.
The impact of directory traversal attacks can be lessened by placing the web root on a separate drive letter or by restricting access using file system restrictions.
