Description:
José Ramón Palanco has reported a vulnerability in Mono, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the System.Web class when handling HTTP requests. This can be exploited to gain remote access to the source code of a web application by e.g. appending "%20" to an URI.
