Description

 The external LIST command used in many Waffle BBS installations may allow a user to display the content of any file on the system. The issue is that the LIST command would allow a user to supply any file on the system, including the /waffle/admin/password file. Because the command also ignores the ^Z character, it would display the entire file including the system password.
