CVE-2009-1559

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Cisco Linksys WVC54GCA wireless video camera version 1.00R24 Cisco Linksys WVC54GCA wireless video camera version 1.00R22

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an absolute pathname in the this file parameter. It is likely that traversal via a .. (dot dot) is also possible.

Recommendations: For version 1.00R24, avoid using the this file parameter with absolute pathnames in the adm/file.cgi endpoint until a fix is available. For version 1.00R22, avoid using the this file parameter with absolute pathnames in the adm/file.cgi endpoint until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the adm/file.cgi endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
