Package : mailreader
Vulnerability : directory traversal
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2002-1581
A directory traversal vulnerability was discovered in mailreader whereby remote attackers could view arbitrary files with the privileges of the nph-mr.cgi process (by default, www-data) via relative paths and a null byte in the configLanguage parameter.
For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.29-5woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your mailreader package.
