GV-LPC2011/LPC2211 - unauthorized directory traversal vulnerability (get_fcont.cgi)

An unauthenticated directory traversal vulnerability exists in get_fcont.cgi in GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 V1.12 and earlier. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied file path input before the requested file is accessed by the CGI component. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to read arbitrary files accessible to the affected process, resulting in information disclosure.
