Date Reported:
24 Apr 2018
Affected Packages:
psensor
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 896195.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2014-10073.
More information:

It was discovered that psensor, a server for monitoring hardware sensors remotely, was prone to a directory traversal vulnerability because the create_response function in server/server.c lacks a check for whether a file is under the webserver directory.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.2.17-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your psensor packages.
