Before processing each request, many server implementations will consult an access control policy to determine whether the client should be permitted to read, write, or create a file at the requested location. If the client is able to craft a request that violates the server's access control policy, then the server contains a vulnerability. Since most vulnerabilities of this type involve escaping a restricted set of directories, they are commonly known as \"directory traversal\" vulnerabilities.\n\nDirectory traversal vulnerabilities are most often reported in server implementations, but recent research into the behavior of FTP clients has revealed vulnerabilities in several file transfer applications, including the `wget` utility. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must convince the victim user to access a specific FTP server containing files with crafted filenames. When an affected version of `wget` attempts to download one of these files, the crafted filename causes the utility to write the downloaded files to the location specified by the filename, not by the victim user. In some cases, the attacker must use a modified FTP server to allow the crafted filenames to be passed to the client. \n \nFor more detailed information regarding this research, please read \"[_Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities in FTP Clients_](<http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/302956>)\", written by Steve Christey. \n \n--- \n \n### Impact \n\nThis vulnerability allows an attacker to mislead `wget` users, convincing them to unintentionally create or overwrite files on the client's filesystem. \n \n--- \n \n### Solution \n\n**Apply a patch from your vendor** \n \nFor vendor-specific information regarding vulnerability status and patch availability, please consult the Systems Affected section of this document \n \n--- \n \n### Vendor Information\n\n210148\n\nFilter by status: All Affected Not Affected Unknown\n\nFilter by content: __ Vendor has issued information\n\n__ Sort by: Status Alphabetical\n\nExpand all\n\n__ Affected __ Unknown __ Unaffected \n\n**Javascript is disabled.

A malicious server could potentially overwrite\r\n key files to cause a denial of service or, in some\r\n cases, gain privileges by modifying executable files.\r\n The risk is mitigated because non-default\r\n configurations are primarily affected, and the user\r\n must be convinced to access the malicious server.\r\n However, web-based clients may be more easily exploited\r\n using server-side vulnerabilities such as XSS.\r\n\r\n\r\nFTP clients, including those that may be embedded in web clients, can\r\nbe vulnerable to certain directory traversal attacks by modified FTP\r\nservers. If successful, the attacks could allow the server to\r\noverwrite or create arbitrary files outside of the client's working\r\ndirectory, subject to file/directory permissions and the privilege\r\nlevel of the client.\r\n\r\nMultiple clients are affected. See "Test Results" for the list of\r\nclients.\r\n\r\n\r\n___ Introduction _____________________________________________________\r\n\r\n\r\nInspiration:\r\n\r\n A colleague of mine selected a bunch of files from an "ftp://" URL\r\n and copied them to a folder en masse.\r\n\r\nRealization:\r\n\r\n FTP clients haven't been reported as being vulnerable to directory\r\n traversal conditions.\r\n\r\nCorrection based on further investigation:\r\n\r\n In 1997, some FTP clients were reported as being vulnerable to\r\n directory traversal conditions [1].\r\n\r\nTheory:\r\n\r\n Some FTP clients are still vulnerable to directory traversal\r\n conditions.\r\n\r\nVerification:\r\n\r\n The task would involve creating a malicious FTP server that would\r\n send filenames with "../" and other sequences as the result of a\r\n "LIST" request, or a "multiple GET" request. The client might then\r\n download these files into some parent directory.\r\n\r\n\r\n___ Testing Methodology ______________________________________________\r\n\r\n\r\nThis methodology is a simplification of the PROTOS methodology as\r\ndeveloped by the Oulu University Secure Programming Group [2], in\r\nwhich a test suite is developed for a particular protocol, and the\r\nsuite is then used against specific implementations. The PROTOS\r\nmethodology has proven effective in finding large numbers of\r\nvulnerabilities in many different products that implement standard\r\nnetworking protocols.\r\n\r\nFor a simple test suite, the "ftp4all" FTP server was modified to\r\nreturn filenames of various forms that might cause files to be created\r\noutside a client's working directory. ftp4all was chosen because it\r\nwas easy to install and it allowed non-root users to run an FTP server\r\non a port other than 21.\r\n\r\nThe files src/ftps/list.c, serverd.c, and transfer.c were changed to\r\nproduce modified filenames, and to return the same test file for any\r\nfilename that the client requests.\r\n\r\nWhen a client sends a LIST or NLST command, the test server returns\r\nfilenames containing the following sequences:\r\n\r\n "../" - classic traversal\r\n "/path" - an absolute pathname\r\n "..\" - backslash traversal pattern (Windows systems)\r\n "C:" - Drive letter traversal (Windows systems)\r\n "..." - "triple-dot" (Windows systems, equivalent to ../..)\r\n\r\nWhen downloading a group of files using wildcards, the FTP client\r\ntypically performs an "NLST" command, reads the list of files returned\r\nby the server, and uses those filenames to make individual requests.\r\n\r\nNote that web clients may also be affected if they can process\r\n"ftp://" URLs.\r\n\r\n\r\nDemonstration Session\r\n---------------------\r\n\r\nFollowing is a simulated session to demonstrate how a vulnerable\r\nclient may behave.\r\n\r\n\r\nCLIENT> CONNECT server\r\n 220 FTP4ALL FTP server ready.

If a client demonstrated this behavior, then the server\r\nwas modified to send a single suspicious filename at a time, and the\r\nclient would be executed multiple times.\r\n\r\nOther variants of directory traversal sequences were not tested, as\r\nthere were not sufficient resources to conduct such a comprehensive\r\nanalysis in a timely fashion. See [3] for examples.\r\n\r\nIt is possible that web clients may be vulnerable to the same type of\r\nissue from malicious HTTP servers, when the clients are used to\r\nautomatically download web pages. However, this was not tested.\r\n\r\n\r\n___ Test Results _____________________________________________________\r\n\r\n\r\nThe following products were specifically tested by the author.\r\nDescriptions of this class of problem were reported to CERT/CC and\r\nmajor vendors.

If so,\r\n then enabling these features could notify the user if an attack\r\n occurs, and allow the user to take defensive action.\r\n\r\n These features may be explicitly disabled if the client is being\r\n called from a script or other program that does not require user\r\n intervention.\r\n\r\n 1) The user may be able to set the client to prompt the user when an\r\n existing file is to be overwritten. This is typically a default\r\n behavior.\r\n\r\n 2) A command such as "runique" may be available to force the client\r\n to use a different filename instead of overwriting an existing\r\n file.\r\n\r\n\r\nSun FTP client:\r\n\r\n Statement from Sun\r\n ------------------\r\n\r\n We have investigated this directory traversal issue and do not\r\n think it is a bug. \r\n \r\n The user has several means of protection against this issue.\r\n\r\n 1. By default prompting is turned on, so the user gets a chance to\r\n decide if they want a file returned by mget before it is\r\n downloaded. So files will not be overwritten without prompting the\r\n user.\r\n\r\n 2. When running as an ordinary user, Unix access controls will stop\r\n system files being over written. If a user must run as root, care\r\n needs to be taken which would include not turning off interactive\r\n mode.\r\n\r\n 3. The user may run the "runique" command to force the Solaris ftp\r\n client to avoid overwriting files that already exist.\r\n\r\n The Solaris ftp mget behaviour is consistent with other BSD derived\r\n ftp clients, for example on Linux and FreeBSD. Changing the\r\n existing behaviour will cause problems.\r\n\r\n\r\nSGI FTP client:\r\n\r\n SGI acknowledged the vulnerability via email and is likely to have a\r\n public acknowledgement near the time of this disclosure.\r\n\r\n\r\nOpenBSD:\r\n\r\n Vendor statement (Theo de Raadt):\r\n\r\n "I've forwarded the report to the person who copes with that\r\n stuff. I do not consider this all that serious."\r\n\r\nwget:\r\n\r\n Red Hat Linux has released advisory RHSA-2002:229 at:\r\n http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2002-229.html\r\n\r\n The status of other Linux vendors was unknown at the time this\r\n advisory was published.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n___ Vulnerability Identifiers ________________________________________\r\n\r\n\r\nThe following identifiers have been assigned to these issues.\r\n\r\n wget:\r\n\r\n CVE - CAN-2002-1344 [4]\r\n CERT VU - VU#210148 [5]\r\n\r\n FTP command-line clients (UNIX):\r\n\r\n CVE - CAN-2002-1345 [6]\r\n CERT VU - VU#210409 [7]\r\n\r\nThe CVE numbers were assigned by the Common Vulnerabilities and\r\nExposures (CVE) project.

See "Test Results" for the list of clients.\r\n\r\nDETAILS\r\n\r\nVulnerable:\r\n Product ../ ..\ C: /path ...\r\n ------------- --- --- --- ----- ---\r\n wget 1.8.1 yes no no yes{4} no\r\n wget 1.7.1 yes no no no{2} no\r\n OpenBSD 3.0 FTP yes no{1} no{1} yes no\r\n Solaris 2.6, 7 yes no no yes no\r\n\r\nThe ftp command on SGI systems is also subject to one or more flavors of \r\ndirectory traversal attacks. However, details were not available at the \r\ntime that this advisory was published.\r\n\r\nNot Vulnerable:\r\n Product ../ ..\ C: /path ...\r\n ------------- --- --- --- ----- ---\r\n Red Hat 7.1 no{3} no{3} no{3} no{3} no\r\n Debian 2.4.16 no{3} no{3} no{3} no{3} no\r\n NT SP5 command line no no no no no\r\n XP command (no SP) no no no no no\r\n lftp 2.6.2 no no{1} no{1} no no\r\n NcFTP 3.1.4 no no no no no\r\n Lynx 2.8.1 [FTP traversal not available]\r\n\r\nNotes:\r\n{1} installed the file in the current directory\r\n{2} created subdirectories within the current directory\r\n{3} generated error message and/or stopped downloading\r\n{4} only with the -nH option ("Disable host-prefixed directories")\r\n\r\nOther notes on wget:\r\n1) "wget" was tested with the -r (recursive) option.\r\n2) When provided with an FTP URL on the command line, it is subject to \r\n"../" traversal\r\n3) If there's an FTP link within a web page, it will not follow the links, \r\nand is not subject to traversal\r\n4) HOWEVER, if the --follow-ftp option is used, it is subject to "../" \r\ntraversal\r\n5) When both --follow-ftp and -nH are used, wget is also subject to \r\n"/path" traversal\r\n6) wget 1.7.1 was not tested for the -nH absolute path issue, or for FTP \r\nURL's in web pages\r\n\r\nVendor response:\r\nVendors informed individually and through CERT/CC\r\n\r\nRisk:\r\nA malicious server could potentially overwrite key files to cause a denial \r\nof service or, in some cases, gain privileges by modifying executable \r\nfiles. The risk is mitigated because non-default configurations are \r\nprimarily affected, and the user must be convinced to access the malicious \r\nserver. However, web-based clients may be more easily exploited using \r\nserver-side vulnerabilities such as XSS.\r\n\r\nVerification:\r\nThe task would involve creating a malicious FTP server that would send \r\nfilenames with "../" and other sequences as the result of a "LIST" \r\nrequest, or a "multiple GET" request. The client might then download these \r\nfiles into some parent directory.\r\n\r\nTesting Methodology:\r\nThis methodology is a simplification of the PROTOS methodology as \r\ndeveloped by the Oulu University Secure Programming Group [2], in which a \r\ntest suite is developed for a particular protocol, and the suite is then \r\nused against specific implementations. The PROTOS methodology has proven \r\neffective in finding large numbers of vulnerabilities in many different \r\nproducts that implement standard networking protocols.\r\n\r\nFor a simple test suite, the "ftp4all" FTP server was modified to return \r\nfilenames of various forms that might cause files to be created outside a \r\nclient's working directory. ftp4all was chosen because it was easy to \r\ninstall and it allowed non-root users to run an FTP server on a port other \r\nthan 21.\r\n\r\nThe files src/ftps/list.c, serverd.c, and transfer.c were changed to \r\nproduce modified filenames, and to return the same test file for any \r\nfilename that the client requests.\r\n\r\nWhen a client sends a LIST or NLST command, the test server returns \r\nfilenames containing the following sequences:\r\n\r\n "../" - classic traversal\r\n "/path" - an absolute pathname\r\n "..\" - backslash traversal pattern (Windows systems)\r\n "C:" - Drive letter traversal (Windows systems)\r\n "..." - "triple-dot" (Windows systems, equivalent to ../..)\r\n\r\nWhen downloading a group of files using wildcards, the FTP client \r\ntypically performs an "NLST" command, reads the list of files returned by \r\nthe server, and uses those filenames to make individual requests. \r\n\r\nNote that web clients may also be affected if they can process "ftp://" \r\nURLs.\r\n\r\nDemonstration Session:\r\nFollowing is a simulated session to demonstrate how a vulnerable client \r\nmay behave.\r\n\r\n\r\nCLIENT> CONNECT server\r\n 220 FTP4ALL FTP server ready.

Thus \r\none could not be certain if the client was vulnerable to other filenames. \r\nIf a client demonstrated this behavior, then the server was modified to \r\nsend a single suspicious filename at a time, and the client would be \r\nexecuted multiple times.\r\n\r\nOther variants of directory traversal sequences were not tested, as there \r\nwere not sufficient resources to conduct such a comprehensive analysis in \r\na timely fashion. See [3] for examples.\r\n\r\nIt is possible that web clients may be vulnerable to the same type of \r\nissue from malicious HTTP servers, when the clients are used to \r\nautomatically download web pages. However, this was not tested. \r\n\r\nTest Results:\r\nThe following products were specifically tested by the author. \r\nDescriptions of this class of problem were reported to CERT/CC and major \r\nvendors. Most vendors did not report results back to the author. Consult \r\nyour vendor, or the associated CERT vulnerability note, if your product is \r\nnot listed here.\r\n\r\nPatches, Workarounds, and Vendor Statements:\r\nWorkarounds:\r\nSome clients may have one or more of the following features. If so, then \r\nenabling these features could notify the user if an attack occurs, and \r\nallow the user to take defensive action.\r\n\r\nThese features may be explicitly disabled if the client is being called \r\nfrom a script or other program that does not require user intervention.\r\n\r\n1) The user may be able to set the client to prompt the user when an \r\nexisting file is to be overwritten. This is typically a default behavior.\r\n\r\n2) A command such as "runique" may be available to force the client to use \r\na different filename instead of overwriting an existing file.\r\n\r\nSun FTP client:\r\nStatement from Sun\r\nWe have investigated this directory traversal issue and do not think it is \r\na bug. \r\n\r\nThe user has several means of protection against this issue.\r\n\r\n1. By default prompting is turned on, so the user gets a chance to decide \r\nif they want a file returned by mget before it is downloaded. So files \r\nwill not be overwritten without prompting the user.\r\n\r\n2. When running as an ordinary user, UNIX access controls will stop system \r\nfiles being over written. If a user must run as root, care needs to be \r\ntaken which would include not turning off interactive mode.\r\n\r\n3. The user may run the "runique" command to force the Solaris ftp client \r\nto avoid overwriting files that already exist. \r\n\r\nThe Solaris ftp mget behaviour is consistent with other BSD derived ftp \r\nclients, for example on Linux and FreeBSD. Changing the existing behaviour \r\nwill cause problems.\r\n\r\nSGI FTP client:\r\nSGI acknowledged the vulnerability via email and is likely to have a \r\npublic acknowledgement near the time of this disclosure.\r\n\r\nOpenBSD:\r\nVendor statement (Theo de Raadt):\r\n"I've forwarded the report to the person who copes with that stuff. I do \r\nnot consider this all that serious."\r\n\r\nwget:\r\nRed Hat Linux has released advisory RHSA-2002:229 at: \r\n<http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2002-229.html> \r\nhttp://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2002-229.html\r\n\r\nThe status of other Linux vendors was unknown at the time this advisory \r\nwas published.\r\n\r\nResearch and Disclosure History:\r\nThe disclosure of this issue has been conducted in accordance with the \r\nChristey/Wysopal "Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Process" draft, \r\nwhich has expired [8].\r\n\r\nSince multiple vendors and products were affected, the research and \r\ndisclosure history for this issue is extensive.
