Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in ikiwiki, which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose sensitive information.
The path to the source directory in the repository is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to disclose sensitive information by committing symlinks to other parts of the file system.
Successful exploitation requires that the attacker has commit rights to the repository and that the directories above the source directory are put in the repository.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.13. Prior versions may also be affected.

Update to version 2.14.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Reported by the vendor.
