visionmedia send before 0.8.4 for Node.js uses a partial comparison for verifying whether a directory is within the document root, which allows remote attackers to access restricted directories, as demonstrated using "public-restricted" under a "public" directory.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - visionmedia send before 0.8.4 for Node.js uses a partial comparison for verifying whether a directory is
    within the document root, which allows remote attackers to access restricted directories, as demonstrated
    using "public-restricted" under a "public" directory. (CVE-2014-6394)

The version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 7.0. It is, therefore, affected by the multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A memory leak issue exists in file d1_srtp.c related to     the DTLS SRTP extension handling and specially crafted     handshake messages. An attacker can exploit this to     cause denial of service condition. (CVE-2014-3513)

  - A man-in-the-middle (MitM) information disclosure     vulnerability, known as POODLE, exists due to the way     SSL 3.0 handles padding bytes when decrypting messages     encrypted using block ciphers in cipher block chaining     (CBC) mode. A MitM attacker can decrypt a selected byte     of a cipher text in as few as 256 tries if they are able     to force a victim application to repeatedly send the     same data over newly created SSL 3.0 connections.
    (CVE-2014-3566)

  - A memory leak issue exists in file t1_lib.c related to     session ticket handling. An attacker can exploit this to     cause denial of service condition. (CVE-2014-3567)

  - An error exists related to the build configuration     process and the 'no-ssl3' build option that allows     servers and clients to process insecure SSL 3.0     handshake messages. (CVE-2014-3568)

  - A directory traversal vulnerability exists in send.js     due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input.
    A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, via     a specially crafted request, to access arbitrary files     outside of the restricted path. (CVE-2014-6394)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the     mod_dav_svn and svnserve servers of Apache Subversion. A     remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this, via a     crafted combination of parameters, to cause the current     process to abort through a failed assertion.
    (CVE-2015-0248)

  - A flaw exists in the mod_dav_svn server of Apache     Subversion. A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit     this, via a crafted HTTP request sequence, to spoof an     'svn:author' property value. (CVE-2015-0251)

  - A flaw exists in the Apache HTTP Server due to the     ap_some_auth_required() function in file request.c not     properly handling Require directive associations. A     remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to     bypass access restrictions, by leveraging a module that     relies on the 2.2 API behavior. (CVE-2015-3185)

  - A flaw exists in the IDE Xcode server due to improper     restriction of access to the repository email lists. A     remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to     access sensitive build information, by leveraging     incorrect notification delivery. (CVE-2015-5909)

  - A flaw exists in the IDE Xcode server due to the     transmission of server information in cleartext. A     remote, man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to     access sensitive information. (CVE-2015-5910)

When relying on the root option to restrict file access it may be possible for an application consumer to escape out of the restricted directory and access files in a similarly named directory. For example, static(_dirname + '/public') would allow access to _dirname + '/public-restricted'.
