===============
1) Introduction
===============


DCAM WebCam Server is an OpenSource program written in VisualBasic that
allows to capture live streaming video and to broadcast it on the web
through the built-in webserver.

2) Bug
======


The webserver built into DCAM uses a protection to avoid the directory
traversal bug.
We can see it in Form1.frm:

...
880    page = Replace(page, "..", "")
881    page = Replace(page, "./", "")
882    page = Replace(page, "/.", "")
883    page = Replace(page, "//", "")
884    page = Replace(page, "\", "")
...

The problem happens when the attacker uses the pattern ".\" that
deceives the checks and allows him to see and download any file in the
remote system knowing the path.
