Nite Server FTPD File Disclosure Vulnerability

Nite Server is prone to a file disclosure vulnerability. It is possible for remote FTP users to break out of the FTP root directory by issuing a 'cd' (change directory) request containing directory traversal sequences.

This may cause sensitive system files to be disclosed to malicious FTP users.

This issue was reported in Nite Server 1.83. Earlier versions may also be affected.
