This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against multiple Web applications. Attackers can use a directory traversal in an HTTP header to disclose the contents of remote files.
CGI::Session is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. Exploiting the issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. CGI::Session 3.94, 3.95, and 4.33 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
