FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-00:60 - The boa port, versions after 0.92 but prior to 0.94.8.3, contains a vulnerability which allows remote users to view arbitrary files outside the document root, because it did not correctly restrict URL-encoded requests containing ".." in the path. In addition, if CGI support is enabled, a request for any file ending in .cgi will result in the file being executed with the privileges of the user id running the web server, allowing untrusted binary execution.
