Description |
Netscape FastTrack contains a flaw that allows a remote user to obtain a directory listing of files regardless of the presence of "index.html" (or similar default files). The issue is due to FastTrack not properly handling lower case web requests. By requesting a "get" instead of "GET", an attacker can bypass the displaying of default files and see a raw listing of files in a directory. |
