Description

EmbedThis GoAhead 3.0.0 through 3.4.1 does not properly handle path segments starting with a . (dot), which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks, cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and crash), or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.
