Internet Security Systems Security Advisory

Buffer Overflow in i-drive Filo (tm) software

Synopsis:
Internet Security Systems (ISS) X-Force has discovered a vulnerability in
the i-drive Filo software. i-drive.com provides web storage services for
over 1.5 million users. The browser-based tool, Filo, allows users to clip
and save any web page to their i-drive account. Filo is designed for saving
important pages found on the web such as investment research, travel
confirmations, and e-commerce receipts.

Affected Versions:
Filo file version 1.0.0.1 for Windows NT (SP5) is affected.

Description:
When the Filo software is installed, the setup program also installs an HTTP
proxy server. An attacker can send the proxy server an overly long HTTP GET
request, overflowing a heap buffer in the Filo server software. This
vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations:
i-drive recommends upgrading to Filo 1.5.3. This version is available for
download at: http://www.idrive.com/site/download/WinFiloInstaller.exe

Additional Information:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name
CAN-2000-0376 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE
list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems.

Credits:
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Justine Bone of the ISS
X-Force. Internet Security Systems would like to thank i-drive for their
response and handling of this vulnerability.
