Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in MyServer allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service or conduct directory traversal.
1) It is possible to cause a Denial of Service by opening connections and making invalid HTTP requests. This causes the server to crash.
2) It is possible to conduct directory traversal by encoding "." into "%2e". This allows malicious people to requests files outside the web root with requests like "/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/somefile".
Version 0.4.1 has been reported vulnerable.
