Description:
On NTFS TmaxSoft JEUS, which is an famous web application server, contained
a vulnerability that allows an attacker to obtain web application source
files. This was caused by ADSs(Alternate Data Streams; ::$DATA).
JEUS couldn't handle ::$DATA. So it treated test.jsp::$DATA as an normal
file when it requested.
This is similar to the past MS Windows IIS vulnerability(Bid 0149).
Exploit:
The attacker can obtain them easily using an URL request.
http://www.target.com/foo/bar.jsp::$DATA
