CVE-2018-12542: The StaticHandler uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '' (backward slashes) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory when running on Windows Operating Systems. This was reported by Vishwanath Viraktamath vviraktamath@vmware.com
