CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Easy Address Book Web Server 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/11988/

DESCRIPTION:
Greg Linares has discovered a vulnerability in Easy Address Book Web
Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

An error exists within the handling of alternate data streams. When
running on a NTFS file system, this can be exploited to disclose the
contents of arbitrary files in the web root by appending "::$DATA" to
the request. This makes it possible to gain knowledge of user and
administrator login credentials as well as other sensitive
information.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may be
affected as well.

SOLUTION:
Filter "::$DATA" in a proxy or firewall with URL filtering
capabilities.

Restrict access to the service.
