HP OpenView Storage Data Protector contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the Backup Client Service, OmniInet.exe, not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via GET_FILE messages. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to access arbitrary files.
