1) Introduction
===============

It provides high voice quality and optimized packet voice streaming over
managed and public
(Internet) IP networks. Utilizing a robust, outdoor embedded platform,
VGW4/8 ensures enhanced
reliability and high performance.

VGW4/8 enables users to make local, long distance and international

corporate IP data networks.

2) Bug
======


Upon connecting to the server a "Basic Authorization" login is required.
If it failes there is information disclosure :

-------------------------------------------------------------
Access Error: Unauthorized
when trying to obtain /home.asp

Access to this document requires a User ID
-------------------------------------------------------------

Accessing the given file name again requests a "Basic Authorization" login.
By reffering to the file as a folder the authorization is bypassed.
For Example:
http://<host>/home.asp/

Now after we have bypassed the authorization we can use Reverse Directory
Transversal to
access any "Basic Authorization" protected file.
For Example:
http://<host>/home.asp/../menu.asp
