Description:
Lachlan. H has discovered some weaknesses in Golden FTP Server Pro, which can be exploited by malicious users to gain knowledge of various information.
1) An input validation error in the handling of the LS command makes it possible to disclose the contents of the application directory (e.g. containing files with names of valid users) by changing directory to a share and then pass "\.." as argument to the LS command.
2) It's possible to disclose the absolute path of a share by changing directory to it and then attempt to retrieve a non-existing file.
The weaknesses have been confirmed in version 2.60. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Grant only trusted users access to the FTP service.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Lachlan. H
