Subject: Google Chrome FTP PASV IP Malicious Port Scanning Vulnerability.

Advisory: Google Chrome FTP PASV IP Malicious Port Scanning Vulnerability.

Version Affected:
Google Chrome: 1.0.154.36

Description:
Google Chrome FTP Client is vulnerable to FTP PASV malicious port
scanning vulnerability. The username in the
FTP (ftp://username:password@...ain.com) can be manipulated by tampering
it with certain IP address with
specification of port as
(ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-22:password@...ain.com).The Google Chrome FTP
client make
connection to the rogue FTP server which uses PASV commands to scan
network.Dynamic requests are issued to a
rogue FTP server which accepts connection with different usernames as
the IP address with specified ports to locate
the non existing object on the target domain.

Request 1 : ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-21:password@...ain.com
Request 2 : ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-22:password@...ain.com
Request 3 : ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-23:password@...ain.com
Request 4 : ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-25:password@...ain.com

JavaScript Port Scanning is used to exploit this issue. A malicious web
page hosted on a specially-coded FTP server
could use this feature to perform a generic port-scan of machines inside
the firewall of the victim.The generated
fraudulent request helps attacker to exhibit internal network
information through sustainable port scanning through
JavaScript.
