#1- The application is vulnerable to Local file inclusion

read_log.jsp and read_log.dep not validate the name and location of the log
file , un authenticated remote attacker can perform this

---------------------------------------------
read_log.jsp:
/usr/BWhttpd/root/htdocs/BWT/utils/logs
from /usr/BWhttpd/logs/<%= logName %>
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
read_log.dep

<%!
        protected LinkedList getBwhttpdLog( String logName, String theOrder
) {
                String logPath  = "/usr/BWhttpd/logs/";
                String theLog   = logPath + logName;
                LinkedList resultList = new LinkedList();
                try {
                                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(theLog));
                                String theLine = "";
                                        while( (theLine = in.readLine()) !=
null ) {
                                                if(
theOrder.indexOf("descending") > -1 ) {

resultList.addFirst(theLine);
                                                } else {

resultList.addLast(theLine);
                                                }
                                        }
