Description:
dr_insane has discovered two vulnerabilities in LogiSphere, which can be exploited by malicious users to access arbitrary files on a vulnerable system and potentially to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An input validation error in the URL makes it possible to escape the web root and retrieve arbitrary files on the system via directory traversal attacks using the "../../" character sequence.
2) The server does not limit the number of messages that can be sent by a user using the "msg" command. This may be exploited to display a large number of message boxes on the server via the "msg" command.
Example:
http://[host]:8080/msg[message]
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.9.9j. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.2.
