  SlimFTPd Directory Traversal
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.whitsoftdev.com/page.php?id=8> SlimFTPd is a highly
efficient, low-profile FTP server daemon for the Windows operating
environment. It is small, does not require any installation routine, and
won't take over your system, yet it boasts some of the same features
commonly found in the larger retail products.
A security vulnerability in the product allows attackers to break out of
the bounding FTP root directory and read arbitrary files on the system.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
SlimFTPd version 2.2

The SlimFTPd does not handle relative paths correctly. Doing a "cd .../"
in your home directory, will connect you to a directory above the bounding
root directory.

Solution:
Vendor has been contacted on the 12th of August no response has been
received.
