Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
62054 Apache Tomcat WAR Filename Traversal Work-directory File Deletion

Apache Tomcat contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path of the host's work directory. The issue is due to Apache Tomcat not properly sanitizing the contents of a WAR file before it is deployed, which could be exploited by a directory traversal sequence in the file name(s) to delete and possibly create malicious files in the host's work directory.
