Summary
A vulnerability in the administrative web interface of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to
obtain the contents of arbitrary files on an affected device.
The vulnerability is due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input
passed to a specific function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
supplying a series of directory traversal characters, allowing the attacker to
designate a file outside the restricted directory to be returned. An exploit
could allow the attacker to obtain the contents of any file that is readable
by the Apache Tomcat service account.
