The host is installed with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 9.x through 9.0.5.6, 8.5.x through 8.5.5.19, 8.0.x through 8.0.0.15 or 7.0.x through 7.0.0.45 and is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../). Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories and to view arbitrary files on the system.
