Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1048)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
It was found that the AJP connector in undertow, as shipped in Jboss EAP 7.1.0.GA, does not use the ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH option and thus allow the the slash / anti-slash characters encoded in the url which may lead to path traversal and result in the information disclosure of arbitrary local files.
