REDHAT-BUG-697229
First published: Sun Apr 17 2011(Updated: )
A directory traversal flaw was found in Mojolicious [1]. Because Mojolicious did not unescape paths before processing them, a user could use it to view arbitrary files using '%2f' rather than '/' (for example: %2f..%2f). This has been corrected in upstream version 1.17 [2].
