# Title : Symantec Messaging Gateway <= 10.6.1 Directory Traversal
# Date : 28/09/2016
# Author : R-73eN
# Tested on : Symantec Messaging Gateway 10.6.1 (Latest)
# Software :
https://www.symantec.com/products/threat-protection/messaging-gateway
# Vendor : Symantec
# CVE : CVE-2016-5312
# DESCRIPTION:
# A charting component in the Symantec Messaging Gateway control center
does not properly sanitize user input submitted for charting requests.
# This could potentially result in an authorized but less privileged user
gaining access to paths outside the authorized directory.
# This could potentially provide read access to some files/directories on
the server for which the user is not authorized.

The problem relies in the package kavachart-kcServlet-5.3.2.jar , File : 
com/ve/kavachart/servlet/ChartStream.java
The vulnerable code is
extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, 
HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {
        block6 : {
            try {
                String string = httpServletRequest.getParameter("sn"); 
                //**** Taking parameter "sn" and writing it to the "string 
variable"


                if (string == null) break block6;
                String string2 = string.substring(string.length() - 3);
                 
                byte[] arrby = 
(byte[])this.getServletContext().getAttribute(string); 
           
                //**** The string variable is passed here without any 
sanitanization for directory traversal
                //**** and you can successfully use this to do a directory 
traversal.
                
                if (arrby != null) {
                    httpServletResponse.setContentType("image/" + string2);
                    ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = 
httpServletResponse.getOutputStream();
                    httpServletResponse.setContentLength(arrby.length);
                    servletOutputStream.write(arrby);
                    this.getServletContext().removeAttribute(string);
                    break block6;
                }
