Description:
Oliver Karow has reported some vulnerabilities in Aweb, allowing malicious people to see sensitive information and arbitrary files.

1) The problem is that the web server fails to handle invalid requests properly. This can be exploited by supplying illegal requests, causing the web server to return the full installation path and the name of the user running the web server process.

2) An input validation error can be exploited to access directories outside the web root via the "../" directory traversal character sequence.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.5.
