| Detailed Description |
The Turbo Seek program is vulnerable to an information disclosure vulnerability.
Turbo Seek provides the capability to create and run a directory and search engine with ease, and is a shareware program designed to handle hundreds of thousands of listings and hundreds of categories for Unix and Linux-based operating systems. Turbo Seek versions prior to 1.7.2 could be exploited by remote attacker to disclose the content of arbitrary files, caused by improper handling of user-supplied input in the 'location' variable of the tseekdir.cgi script. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to view the content of sensitive files on a system by appending a NULL byte ('%00') at the end of a requested filename.
