CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, DoS
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Hyper Estraier 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/6017/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Hyper Estraier, which can be
exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to
gain knowledge of certain sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in handling files with
certain unicode characters in their filenames when creating the index
of a searchable directory. This can be exploited to cause files in
non-searchable directories to be indexed, potentially disclosing
their contents. It is also possible to cause a DoS by causing the
index creation to fail via a file with a specially crafted unicode
filename.
Successful exploitation requires that the malicious user is able to
upload a file into a searchable directory.
The vulnerability affects only the Windows version.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.2.
