COMMAND

    Clipper

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Anaconda Clipper 3.3 (probably others)

PROBLEM

    Following is based on a UkR  security team Advisory no. 11.   '..'
    and '/'  are not  filtered while  processing user  input, so it is
    possible to enter arbitrary  values to retreive files  from remote
    sever,  which  should  not   be  accessible  normally  (for   ex.,
    /etc/passwd).  Example:

        http://blah.somenonexistanthost.com/cgi-bin/anacondaclip.pl?template=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

SOLUTION

    This will help in somewhat:

        $input =~ s/[(\.\.)|\/]//g;
