Product:   IPSwitch, Inc. WS_FTP Server
Versions:  v3.13 (dated 2002.08.07), possibly others.
Severity:  Medium-Hot

Revision:  1.0




{ Overview }

    WS_FTP v3.13 by IPSwitch, Inc., is vulnerable to the classic FTP bounce
attack as well as PASV connection hijacking.



{ Impact }

    The FTP bounce vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause the FTP
server to create a connection to any IP address on any TCP port greater than
1024.  Thus, the attacker can scan Internet addresses anonymously along with
any internal addresses that the FTP server has access to.  More information
on this vulnerability can be found here:
        http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1997-27.html.
    The PASV connection hijacking vulnerability allows a remote attacker to
intercept directory listings and file downloads from other users; file uploads
may also be spoofed.  No authentication is necessary to execute this attack.
More information on this vulnerability can be found here:
        http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/2558.



{ Details }

    This demonstrates the FTP bounce vulnerability.  The internal IP address,
"192.168.1.20", is listening on port 8080, and "192.168.2.30" is dead or not
accessible via port 8080:

$ telnet x.ternal.ip.address 21
Trying x.ternal.ip.address...
Connected to x.ternal.ip.address.

{ Solution }

    1.)  Mix yourself a Long Island Iced Tea.
    2.)  Buy more Rohypnol from Paco on 7th & 30th ('cuz you used up the
          box you bought last time to get yourself out of that chicken-
          suit bind last Wednesday, remember??).
    3.)  While you're not looking, slip yourself two (2) crushed 100mg pills.
    4.)  Drink your Long Island while pretending to be flirting with someone
          in a bar environment (but in fact, you're still in your lonely,
          lonely apartment because you're a fucking looser and you're gonna
          die alone 28 years from now).
    5.)  Put on those crotchless leather pants that you got in your closet.
          But this time, don't wear anything underneath.  Not even
          underwear.
    6.)  Go to the local gay bar, even though you're not gay, and wait
          outside 'till that warm fuzzy roofies feeling starts crawling up
          your back.
    7.)  Go inside the bar and look for the menacing black biker guy named
          Steve (Hey, how did you know his name is Steve if you're not
          gay, huh??).  Take the deepest breath you can and scream at the
          top of your lungs every homosexual slur that you can think of
          right in the guy's face.
    8.)  Wake up 16 hours later at the bottom of a ditch in a pool of your
          own blood with that, "uh-oh, I think I forgot my jacket at the
          bar" feeling.
    9.)  Try to figure out exactly what happened, and LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF
          when you do.
    10.) Die alone 28 years from now, you fucking looser.


    (Yeah, so anyways, IPSwitch never got back to me after two weeks, so
    there is no solution to this problem.)
