Allaire JRun Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Allaire JRun is a web application development suite with JSP and Java Servlets. It contains a vulnerability that allows a user to access documents outside of the webroot. Requesting a malformed URL using the SSIFilter servlet, a remote user will gain read access to any file on a hosts filesystem. This is due to improper checking of where "../" paths lead (eg, outside of the webroot). In addition to disclosing the contents of arbitrary files, this vulnerability could allow a user to gain access to the source code of any file within the web document root of the web server.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of JRun.
