Acronis PXE Server Directory Traversal and NULL Pointer
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

The <Acronis PXE Server> Acronis PXE Server is "an essential component of
Acronis Snap Deploy Server, a deployment solution for automatically
configuring all the clients of the local network". Vulnerabilities in the
PXE server of Acronis allows remote attackers to access files that they
would otherwise not have access to as well as cause the product to crash
by sending it malformed data.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Acronis PXE Server version 2.0.0.1076

Directory traversal
The PXE Server (pxesrv.exe) implements a TFTP server for the downloading
of the bootstrap files (uploading is not allowed). The service is
vulnerable to a classical directory traversal attack and an arbitrary path
specification which allows an attacker to download any file from the local
disks or the network shares.

NULL pointer
An incomplete TFTP request (anything which goes from the simple absence of
the option field to the usage of only the 2 bytes for the opcode) causes
the crashing of the PXE Server due to a NULL pointer access.
