Date: May 27 2003

Impact:
Disclosure of user information
|
Exploit Included: Yes

Description:
Ziv Kamir reported an information disclosure vulnerability in the Meteor FTP Server. A remote user can determine valid usernames on the server.
During a failed login attempt, the server reportedly returns different information depending on whether the username is incorrect or the password is incorrect. If a remote user attempts to login using an invalid username, the server will respond with:
Login failed.
If a remote user attempts to login using a valid username on the server, the server will respond with:
331 User name okay, need password
A remote user can exploit this behavior to obtain a list of valid usernames on the FTP server.
The vendor has reportedly been notified (on 27/05/2003).
|
Impact:
A remote user can determine whether a specified username exists on the FTP server.
