DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in SideBooks, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

Input passed to the FTP component of the application is not properly
sanitised before being used to access files. This can be exploited to
access files outside of the application root and e.g. download an
iPhone address book via directory traversal attacks.

Note: The FTP component of SideBooks is not enabled by default and
only accessible through WLAN.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Only use the FTP component within a trusted WLAN.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
R3d@l3rt, Sp@2K, and Sunlight.
