      Directory Traversal Vulnerability in 121 WAM! Server
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.121software.com/121wam/server.asp> 121 WAM! Server is "a
    standard FTP server for Microsoft Windows. When used in conjunction with
    121 WAM! Client, it also provides your users with a complete solution to
    manage their online databases including Microsoft Access, SQL Server and
    MySQL. 121 WAM! makes uploading, downloading and transferring data a
    simple drag and drop operation. 121 WAM! Server is the first FTP server
    that supports database transfer functionality".

    Due to a vulnerability in the product remote attackers can access files
    that reside outside the bounding FTP root directory.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * 121 WAM! Server 1.0.4.0 (Possibly previous versions)

    Sending the command CWD .., will not change the directory. However sending
    CWD /../ allows normal users to 'hop' out of the pre-defined user root
    directory, and browse the entire hard drive.
