Description:
Two weaknesses have been reported in OSU HTTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information.
1) The full path to the web root is disclosed when requesting a non-existing file.
2) An error in the request handling can be exploited to disclose the content of directories via a specially crafted URL containing the wildcard character.
Example:
http://[host]/a*/
The weaknesses have been reported in versions 3.10a and 3.11alpha. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Use another product.
