Title: Multiple Vendor FTP Conversion Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Some FTP servers provide a "conversion" service that pipes a requested file through a program, for example a decompression utility such as "tar", before it is passed to the remote user. Under some configurations where this is enabled a remote user can pass a filename beginning with a minus sign to FTP, which will pass this as an argument to the compression/archiver program (where it will be erroneously treated as a command line argument other than a filename). It may be possible to exploit this and execute commands on a remote machine. An example of this exploits the "--use-compress-program PROG" parameter passed to tar; if PROG refers to a program that is accessible to the FTP server, it will be executed. The remote user must have access to a writeable directory in order to exploit this. See exploit for details.
