Summary

lucene-solr handler supports an HTTP API (/replication?command=filecontent&file=)
which is vulnerable to path traversal attack. Specifically, this API does not
perform any validation of the user specified file_name parameter. This can
allow an attacker to download any file readable to Solr server process even if
it is not related to the actual Solr index state.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", this problem has been fixed in version
3.6.0+dfsg-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lucene-solr packages.
