The version of Eserv running on the remote host is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack. It is possible to read arbitrary files on the server by prepending …/…/ or …..\ in front of the file name. A remote attacker could exploit this to read arbitrary files on the server, which could be used to mount further attacks.
