Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-03-11 11:19:56 UTC 
From Secunia:

A vulnerability has been reported in Echo2, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed as XML to the Echo Engine is not properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to e.g. disclose arbitrary files on an affected system by sending a request containing a specially crafted entity declaration.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.1.0.rc2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 2.1.1.
