The server supports PHP, Perl and CGI and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binary. Description: A vulnerability in the Visual Synapse HTTP server allows remote attackers to traverse directories on the system. This is possible by sending a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/..). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Details: Example 1: GET /........windows/system.ini HTTP/1.0 Example 2: GET /......oot.ini HTTP/1.0 Note: the server was installed in the "C:ServerVSHTTPD" directory. Sandcat can also be used to identify this issue: http://www.syhunt.com/sandcat ---------------------------------------------------------------- Vulnerability Status: The vendor was notified, but no reply has been received. The source code of the server warns about possible security issues and that it is not suitable for production environments yet. This warning must be taken seriously. Any application using this source is vulnerable unless the code is patched. Any machine running the compiled HTTPD Server demo is vulnerable as well, unless the application is replaced with an up-to-date and patched version. ---------------------------------------------------------------- # <a href='http://inj3ct0r.com/'>Inj3ct0r.com</a> [2010-10-07]</pre></body></html>
