Description: Tan Chew Keong has reported a vulnerability in Fastream NETFile FTP/Web Server, which potentially can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of the IP address specified as argument to the PORT command and can be exploited via so-called "FTP Bounce" attacks to open connections to arbitrary systems via the FTP server.
Successful exploitation may allow bypassing of firewall filters and access systems, which would otherwise be unaccessible.
This can also be exploited further to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) by uploading a specially crafted text file or access the admin interface (port 30000/tcp).
The vulnerability has been reported in version 7.4.6. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution: Update to version 7.6 and disable FXP support.
Grant only trusted users access to the FTP service.
