a. Directory traversal in third party Jetty Web server component

The way the Jetty Web Server in vSphere Update Manager is configured
allows for directory traversal. This issue is a variant of the
directory traversal issue that was addressed in earlier versions of
vSphere Update Manager. See VMSA-2010-0012 for additional
information.
