Description:
A stack overflow vulnerability was reported in the Serv-U FTP server. A remote user can gain privileges on the system.
It is reported that a remote authenticated user with access to a writable directory can invoke the 'site chmod' command with a specially crafted filename to trigger the overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the Serv-U process (reportedly to be administrator or system privileges in typically cases).
|
Impact:
A remote authenticated user can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Serv-U process.
|
Solution:
It is reported that version 5.0 is not affected.

Serv-U Ftp Server Long Filename Stack Overflow Vunlnerablity
Application: Serv-U
Affected Versions: All versions prior 4.2 (include 4.1.0.11)
Vendor: RhinoSoft (http://www.rhinosoft.com
http://www.serv-u.com)
URL: http://www.0x557.org/release/servu.txt
Vunlnerablity:
An internal memory buffer may be overrun while handling "site chmod" command
with a filename containg excessive data. This condition may be exploited by
attackers to ultimately execute instructions with the priviledges of the serv-u
process, typically administator or system.
Details:
While exectuing chmod on a nonexistent file, serv-u will call sprintf to
construct response string. And the code is like
sprintf(dst, "%s: No such file or directory.", filename);
The length of dst buffer is only 256 bytes.If a long filename was sent,
serv-u will crash.
A writable directory is needed to exploit this vulerablity.By overwriting SEH,
we have created proof-of-concept exploit successfully on win2k/xp.
Solution:
Upgrade to servu 5.0.
