      KorWeblog Directory Traversal Vulnerability
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://weblog.kldp.org> KorWeblog is a weblog application used by many
    Korean Linux users.

    A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in KorWeblog that
    allows a malicious user to map the directory structure on the server
    system.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * KorWeblog version 1.3 and prior

    An input validation error allows a malicious user to exploit this
    condition in order to map directory names on the server system. KorWeblog
    has a function to insert image icons when users post replies. This
    function is implemented in viewimg.php. The function doesn't check user
    input correctly, so malicious attackers can modify the $path variable and
    can get file lists of a target directory.

    Example:
    http://[victim]/viewimg.php?path=images.d/face/../../../../../../../&form=Com&var=faceicon
