CVE-2007-1540 (GCVE-0-2007-1540)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2007-03-20 22:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 12:59
VLAI
Summary
Directory traversal vulnerability in am.pl in (1) SQL-Ledger 2.6.27 and earlier, and (2) LedgerSMB before 1.2.0, allows remote attackers to run arbitrary executables and bypass authentication via a .. (dot dot) sequence and trailing NULL (%00) in the login parameter. NOTE: this issue was reportedly addressed in SQL-Ledger 2.6.27, however third-party researchers claim that the file is still executed even though an error is generated.
Severity
