Title: FFFTP 'LIST' Command Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
FFFTP is an FTP client for Microsoft Windows.
FFFTP is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings (such as '../') to write arbitrary files to locations outside of the FTP client's current directory. The attacker can exploit this issue by hosting a malicious FTP server and sending crafted responses to the 'LIST' command. Successful exploits could help the attacker launch further attacks.
NOTE: Files uploaded to the 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup' directory will automatically be processed when the computer is rebooted. This could result in a compromise.
The issue affects FFFTP 1.96b; other versions may also be vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- FFFTP FFFTP 1.96b
