# DESCRIPTION:
#
# A charting component in the Symantec Messaging Gateway control center does not properly sanitize user input submitted for charting requests. 
# This could potentially result in an authorized but less privileged user gaining access to paths outside the authorized directory. 
# This could potentially provide read access to some files/directories on the server for which the user is not authorized.
#
The problem relies in the package kavachart-kcServlet-5.3.2.jar , File : com/ve/kavachart/servlet/ChartStream.java
The vulnerable code is
extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {
        block6 : {
            try {
                String string = httpServletRequest.getParameter("sn"); 
                //**** Taking parameter "sn" and writing it to the "string variable"
 
 
                if (string == null) break block6;
                String string2 = string.substring(string.length() - 3);
                  
                byte[] arrby = (byte[])this.getServletContext().getAttribute(string); 
            
                //**** The string variable is passed here without any sanitanization for directory traversal
                //**** and you can successfully use this to do a directory traversal.
                 
                if (arrby != null) {
                    httpServletResponse.setContentType("image/" + string2);
                    ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = httpServletResponse.getOutputStream();
                    httpServletResponse.setContentLength(arrby.length);
                    servletOutputStream.write(arrby);
                    this.getServletContext().removeAttribute(string);
                    break block6;
                }
