Descriptions
The CGIHTTPServer module in Python 2.7.5 and 3.3.4 does not properly handle URLs in which URL encoding is used for path separators, which allows remote attackers to read script source code or conduct directory traversal attacks and execute unintended code via a crafted character sequence, as demonstrated by a %2f separator.
El módulo CGIHTTPServer en Python versiones 2.7.5 y 3.3.4, no maneja apropiadamente las URL en las que la codificación de URL es usada para los separadores de ruta, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer el código fuente del script o conducir un salto de directorio y ejecutar código no deseado por medio de una secuencia de caracteres diseñada, como es demostrado mediante un separador %2f.
It was discovered that the CGIHTTPServer module incorrectly handled URL encoded paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute scripts outside of the cgi-bin directory, or disclose source of scripts in the cgi-bin directory.
