Bug not affectedTurbo Seek 1.7.2 and newer or other solutions
Bug vulnerability classDirectory Traversal
Bug descriptionThe remote host is running Turbo Seek, a search engine and directory tool. The remote host is running a version prior 1.7.2 which contains a file content disclosure. This may allow a malicious user to read arbitrary files on the remote server with the privileges the remote web server is running with (usually root or nobody).
Bug solutionThe server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. If this is not possible, you should upgrade the software to the latest version. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Try to prevent unwanted connection attempts by filtering traffic with firewalling. Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software.
