glFtpD daemon sitenfo.sh directory traversal
| glftpd-sitenfosh-directory-traversal (19401) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The glFtpD daemon could allow an authenticated remote attacker to traverse directories and obtain sensitive information, caused by a vulnerability in the sitenfo.sh script. The sitenfo.sh script is part of a suite of zip based plug-ins that is distributed with gIFtpD by default and is used to allow users to read .nfo and .diz files from within zip archives. A remote authenticated attacker could send specially-crafted parameters to the sitenfo.sh script to traverse directories and determine if a file exists on a targeted system, view directory listings outside of the FTP directory, or view files within arbitrary zip files on a victim's system.
Consequences:
Obtain Information
Remedy:
No remedy available as of July 9, 2011.
