[GLSA-200701-12] Mono: Information disclosure Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Mono: Information disclosure
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-12
(Mono: Information disclosure)
José Ramón Palanco has discovered that the System.Web class in the
XSP for the ASP.NET server 1.1 through 2.0 in Mono does not properly
validate or sanitize local pathnames which could allow server-side file
content disclosure.
Impact
A possible hacker could append a space character to a URI and obtain
unauthorized access to the source code of server-side files. An
attacker could also read credentials by requesting Web.Config%20 from a
Mono server.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
