SlimFTPd LIST, DELE and RNFR Buffer Overflows
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://www.whitsoftdev.com/slimftpd/>; SlimFTPd is a fully
standards-compliant FTP server implementation with an advanced virtual
file system."
Due to lack of proper length checking routines in SlimFTPd, attackers are
able to to execute arbitrary code by overflowing a buffer the program
uses.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* SlimFTPd version 3.16
Immune Systems:
* SlimFTPd version 3.17
The handler for the LIST, DELE and RNFR commands builds a string by
concatenating the current directory with the requested dir/file. The
requested and current directory can occupy up to 512 bytes, as the
destination buffer, which can therefore be overflowed. The minimal length
for the current remote directory to allow exploitation is 8 chars.
Proof of concept:
