Checks if query?mss=... reads arbitrary files Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment It is possible to read the content of any files on the remote host (such as your configuration files or other sensitive data) by using the Altavista Intranet Search service, and performing the request: GET /cgi-bin/query?mss=%2e%2e/config Bugtraq ID : 896 Solution : - edit '0.0.0.0/0' to a specific IP such as '127.0.0.1/32' - stop page gathering via the management interface - restart Altavista Search Service (to re-read config file) - restart page gathering if necessary - change the username/password through the management interface to bogus information - exploit server and download ../logs/mgtstate (puts file in cache) http://localhost:9000/cgi-bin/query?mss=../logs/mgtstate - change the username/password through the management interface to something different (but not used anywhere else) - avoid restarting the Altavista service or clearing the cache Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: 896 Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2000 Renaud Deraison |
