CVE reference:CVE-2005-2357
CVE-2005-2358


Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in EMC Navisphere Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.

1) HTTP requests are not properly validated, which can be exploited to access arbitrary files outside the web root via directory traversal attacks.

Example:
http://[host]/../../../[file]

This can e.g. be exploited to disclose the contents of the navimon.log log file, which may contain the Clarion Administrator password in plaintext.

2) It is possible to list the contents of a directory by appending a "." at the end of the request. This reportedly only lists static web content, which does not contain any sensitive information. Valid login credentials is also required if this static web content is installed on a remote workstation.

Example:
http://[host]/.

The vulnerabilities reportedly affect versions 6.6, 6.5, and 6.4 prior to versions 6.6.0.5.0, 6.5.4.0.0, and 6.4.8.0.0.

Solution:
Update to version 6.6.0.5.0, 6.5.4.0.0, or 6.4.8.0.0.

Reportedly, later revisions bundled with the FLARE Operating Environment already contain the fix, starting with FLARE 14 (rev 02.07) released in June 2004.
