Bug advisory | http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/165820 |
Bug affected | TYPSoft FTP prior 0.97.5 |
Bug not affected | TYPSoft FTP newer than 0.97.5 or other ftp servers |
Bug vulnerability class | Directory Traversal |
Bug description | The remote host seems to be running TYPSoft FTP, a small FTP server. The software version up to 0.97.5 has a directory traversal vulnerability. An attacker may get access to not shared resources. |
Bug solution | The 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. 8021). 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. |
