602LAN SUITE Local File Detection and Denial of Service

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA15231

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/15231/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
602LAN SUITE 2004
http://secunia.com/product/4219/

DESCRIPTION:
Dr_insane has discovered a vulnerability in 602LAN SUITE, which can
be exploited by malicious people to detect the presence of local
files and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The problem is that no redirection occurs when accessing the "mail"
script with the "A" parameter referencing a valid local file via
directory traversal attacks.

Example:
http://[host]/mail?A=/…/…/…/…/…/…/…/[file]

This can further be exploited to cause a vulnerable server to create
a large amount of processes consuming memory by sending multiple
requests (several thousand).

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2004.0.05.0413. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy or
firewall with URL filtering capabilities.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
