Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A vulnerability in the MLDonkey web interface allows remote attackers
to disclose arbitrary files.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
MLDonkey is a multi-network P2P application written in Ocaml, coming
with its own Gtk GUI, web and telnet interface.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-p2p/mldonkey < 3.0.0 >=3D 3.0.0
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Michael Peselnik reported that src/utils/lib/url.ml in the web
interface of MLDonkey does not handle file names with leading double
slashes properly.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could gain access to arbitrary files readable by the
user running the application.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Disable the web interface or restrict access to it.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All MLDonkey users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-p2p/mldonkey-3.0.0"
