TITLE:
Sysax Multi Server FTP Directory Traversal Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34433

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34433/

DESCRIPTION:
Jonathan Salwan has discovered a vulnerability in Sysax Multi Server,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions, disclose sensitive information, and potentially
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
processing FTP requests. This can be exploited to read, modify, or
delete arbitrary files from the affected system via directory
traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code by e.g.
placing a malicious executable on the affected system.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jonathan Salwan
