TITLE:
KM Scanner File Utility Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31631

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31631/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access, Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
KM Scanner File Utility 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/19662/

DESCRIPTION:
Seth Fogie has reported some vulnerabilities in KM Scanner File
Utility, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), bypass certain security restrictions, and
compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The problem is that the application improperly treats data
contained within incoming requests as authenticated. This can be
exploited to upload arbitrary files to the affected system.

2) An error in the upload functionality can be exploited to upload
arbitrary files to arbitrary locations via directory traversal
attacks.

NOTE: The vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious people to
upload malicious executables and compromise a vulnerable system.

3) Multiple errors in the processing of incoming network data can be
exploited to crash the application.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.3.0.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly, the vendor has released a new version which fixes
vulnerability #2.

Restrict network access to trusted users only.
