Class: Information Disclosure                   Severity: Medium


Overview:
---------
Ipswitch TFTP Server 1.0.0.24 is prone to a directory traversal
vulnerability.


Technical Description:
----------------------
The vulnerability is caused due to improper validation to Read Request
containing '../' sequences, which allows attackers to read arbitrary
files.


Impact:
--------
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive
information.


Affected Software:
------------------
Ipswitch TFTP Server 1.0.0.24


Tested on:
-----------
Ipswitch TFTP Server 1.0.0.24 on Windows XP SP3 & Windows 7.
