Id Description
59440 VMware Multiple Products sdk Path HTTP Request Directory Traversal Arbitrary ...

VMWare hosted products contain a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the HTTP server not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) appended to the /sdk path. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to read arbitrary files on the host, including guest virtual machines.
