Hi !If you use this url :http://www.server.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=xxxYou will get the full path on the hard drive of the script "awstats.pl"with all sub folders.
To prevent an attack, this is the kind of information you should hide.If you search "full path disclosure" on google or on bugtraq you willfind many security issue.
It is not a critical vulnerability but we should be aware.Best regards.FOURNAUX Nicolas-----------------------www.cambodiaoutsourcing.comwww.khmerdev.comMartin Pitt a écrit :
Hi!fournaux () khmerdev com [2005-08-26 1:58 -0000]:Once you have setup this tool, you can get statistics of a websitewith this URL :http://www.server.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=xxxYou replace xxx by the name you gave to the configuration file ofyour website (You have one file per website)But if xxx is not an existing name, the path will be disclosed tothe user in the resulting error message.I'm afraid I don't understand this properly - You requesthttp://some.url?config=/path/to/nonexistant and the error pagedisplays exactly this path? How can this be a vulnerability? AFAICSthis can only determine whether a file exists or not, but this isreally picky...Thanks for any clarification,Martin
