Summary

Tektronix 3 Series MDO devices before 1.21.1 contain a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in the SCPI FILESystem command interface. The interface does not validate file paths supplied to filesystem access commands, so remote attackers can read or modify arbitrary files on the device. The attack needs only low privileges and no user interaction.
