CVE-2009-0843

Publication date 31 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

The msLoadQuery function in mapserv in MapServer 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via a full pathname in the queryfile parameter, which triggers different error messages depending on whether this pathname exists.

this can only probe for files that are not present, useless when not in combination with another attack
