NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream yaws package and not the yaws package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Yaws 1.91 allows Unauthenticated Remote File Disclosure via HTTP Directory Traversal with /%5C../ to port 8080. NOTE: this CVE is only about use of an initial /%5C sequence to defeat traversal protection mechanisms; the initial /%5C sequence was apparently not discussed in earlier research on this product.
