CVE-2004-1083
First published: Fri Dec 03 2004(Updated: )
Apache for Apple Mac OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3.6 restricts access to files in a case sensitive manner, but the Apple HFS+ filesystem accesses files in a case insensitive manner, which allows remote attackers to read .DS_Store files and files beginning with ".ht" using alternate capitalization.
