Description Kurt Seifried 2015-01-29 14:34:22 EST

Travis Emmert reports:

An XMLRPC interface is exposed that is intended for programmatic invocation 
from the client programs and related components. This interfaces exists on the 
satellite server at /XMLRPC. Note that this interface is different from the 
published interface exposed to endusers at /rpc/api. The application accepts 
data and a filename for writing the file too. The filename and resulting 
generated path is inspected, however the inspection does not consider all 
potential attacks. The verification on the path results in a situation where 
an attacker can write to an arbitrary file and directory under /var/satellite/
