DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in McAfee Firewall Reporter, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the GernalUtilities.pm
module when parsing the "cgisess" cookie value during the session
validation process. This can be exploited to gain access to the web
interface via directory traversal specifiers in the cookie's value,
which points to a valid file on the system.

The vulnerability is reported in version 5.1.0.6.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1.0.13.
