Chroot Security Group Advisory 2005-07-25 -- ftplocate



Chroot Security Group Advisory  2005-07-25
        
Remote arbitrary code execution in FtpLocate 2.02 (current)
        
Summary:
FtpLocate is a ftp search engine supporting filename and description search.
A remote attack can run arbitary commands with the web server's privileges by
exploiting a unfiltered parameter in flsearch.pl.
        
Details:
FtpLocate contains a vulnerability that can allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary commands. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation of
user-supplied parameters (fsite) by the flsearch.pl script. Remote attackers 
can run arbitary commands with the web servers's privieges by adding a "|" or 
";".
        
Vuln. Systems:
FtpLocate 1.5 - 2.02 
        
Vuln. Code:
