Apple Mac OS X AFP Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X AFP Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage this issue to create arbitrary files on the affected computer. This may lead to arbitrary code-execution or allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

This issue affects Mac OS X v10.5.8, Mac OS X Server v10.5.8, Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.6.4, and Mac OS X Server 10.6 to 10.6.4.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 44778 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.6.5 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it.
