CVE-2020-29050 (CCN-216887)

Assigned:2019-07-02
Published:2019-07-02
Updated:2022-04-01
Summary:SphinxSearch in Sphinx Technologies Sphinx through 3.1.1 allows directory traversal (in conjunction with CVE-2019-14511) because the mysql client can be used for CALL SNIPPETS and load_file operations on a full pathname (e.g., a file in the /etc directory).
Note: this is unrelated to CMUSphinx.
