DESCRIPTION:
dr_insane has discovered a vulnerability in My Album Online, which
can be exploited by malicious people to access arbitrary files on a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error making
it possible to escape the user configured root folder and retrieve
arbitrary files on the system via directory traversal attacks using
the ".../.../" character sequence.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a HTTP proxy.

The impact of directory traversal attacks can be lessened by placing
the root folder on a separate drive letter or by restricting access
using NTFS.
