wu-ftpd ABOR Privilege Escalation |
||
|
Checks the banner of the remote wu-ftpd server Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be vulnerable to a remote privilege escalation. This version contains a flaw that may permit a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized rights. Specifically, there is a flaw in the way that the server handles an ABOR command after a data connection has been closed. The flaw is within the dologout() function and proper exploitation will give the remote attacker the ability to execute arbitrary code as the 'root' user. This flaw may lead to a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity. *** Nessus solely relied on the banner of the remote server *** to issue this warning, so it may be a false positive. Solution : Upgrade to Wu-FTPd 2.4.2 or newer Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: This script is Copyright (C) 2004 David Maciejak |
