Xerver 4.17 improperly handles alternate path representations in HTTP requests. A remote requester can append a trailing dot to a script resource to cause the server to disclose the script's source code rather than process it. A request containing a trailing null character can cause directory contents to be listed. The flaw is an improper resolution of path equivalence (CWE-41), where special path characters bypass expected resource handling and access restrictions.
