Hi

Here is a funny one: WWW HTTP/1.0 Server, as shipped with
IRIX 6.2 (at least in low end machines) includes a perl
script (wrap) which allows anyone on the net to get a
listing for any directory with mode +755.

Simply use

http://sgi.victim/cgi-bin/wrap?/../../../../../etc

(for instance)

There is a nice interface to this bug at
http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/~spd/pub/ls.cgi

If you are running this server, here is a fix

*** /var/www/cgi-bin/wrap Sat Apr 19 23:08:03 1997
--- /var/www/cgi-bin/wrap.O Sat Apr 19 23:07:44 1997
***************
*** 66,74 ****
$doc = $ROOT.$PATH ;

&DefaultMesg if ! defined $PATH || $PATH eq "" ; # Get a base listing =)
-
- $_ = $PATH;
-
&ErrBadPath unless &ValidPath ; # Check for server spoofing
&ErrBadPath unless -e $doc ; # Check to see it exists
&HandleDownload if -f $doc ; # Do the right thing
--- 66,71 ----

(i don't know too much about perl, maybe you can do it better)
