3. Problem Description

a. Directory traversal in third party Jetty Web server component

VMware vSphere Update Manager is an automated patch management
solution for VMware ESX hosts and Microsoft virtual machines. Update

The way the Jetty Web Server in vSphere Update Manager is configured
allows for directory traversal. This issue is a variant of the

vSphere Update Manager. See VMSA-2010-0012 for additional
information.

VMware would like to thank Alexey Sintsov from Digital Security
Research Group for reporting this issue to us.
