TITLE:
Intermate WinIPDS Directory Traversal and Denial of Service
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA28934

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/28934/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, Exposure of sensitive information,
DoS

WHERE:
From local network

SOFTWARE:
Intermate WinIPDS 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/17553/

DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported some vulnerabilities in Intermate
WinIPDS, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error in the ipdsserver.exe service can be exploited to cause
the service to consume large amounts of CPU resources via a specially
crafted packet sent to default port 5001/TCP.

Successful exploitation requires that an "Output Driver" in the IPDS
Services configuration is activated.

2) An input validation error in the ipdsserver.exe service when
processing HTTP requests on default port 8181/TCP can be exploited to
display arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.3 (Revision
G52-33-021)

SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the service.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Luigi Auriemma
