Peter Sandvik's Simple Web Server 0.5.1 and earlier improperly handles equivalent HTTP path representations. A remote requester can use multiple consecutive slash characters in a requested path to bypass file access restrictions. The flaw is an improper resolution of path equivalence: authorization checks do not consistently account for repeated-slash path forms that resolve to a protected file.
