  EFTP Directory Content Disclosure
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://www.eftp.org/> EFTP, an Encrypted File Transfer Protocol, is an
easy way to send and receive files to and from your PC while they are
seamlessly encrypted. A security vulnerability in the product allows an
attacker to view content of directories that reside outside the bounding
FTP root.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
EFTP version 2.0.8.346

Immune systems:
EFTP version 2.0.8.348

It is possible to see the contents of every drive and directory of
vulnerable server. A valid user account is required to exploit this
vulnerability. This works both with encryption and without encryption.
Here is how it is done:
The user is logged in to his home directory (let us say d:\userdir) when
the user issues a CWD to another directory server returns permission
denied.

However, if he first tries changing to the "..." directory (it will change
to the directory d:\userdir\...) and then issuing a CWD to "\", the
program will replay saying permission denied however it will successfully
change to root directory of the current drive. So, every time we want to
see a directory's content, we first need to issue an CWD to our home
directory and then CWD ... and then CWD directly to desired directory
(CWD c:/ or c:/winnt etc).

Solution:
The vendor has released a fixed version (2.0.8.348) which can be obtained
from eftp's homepage:
