Multiple Buffer Overflows in IglooFTP PRO

Url: http://www.iglooftp.com

IglooFTP PRO is an extremely powerful, easy to use and well designed

FTP client. Perhaps my personal favourite.

It is extremely easy to use, but doesn't lack the configurability

needed for advanced users.

It it this award winning combination which makes IglooFTP PRO one of

the best choices for all your FTP needs.

I have noticed that IglooFTP PRO 3.8 (and possibly earlier versions)

are vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the FTP banner and other areas.

These can be replicated as follows:

FTP Banner:

===========

(IglooFTP PRO connected...)

PADDING EBP EIP

220 [1020xA][4xB][4xX] // Totalling 1028 Bytes

(Access violation when executing 0x58585858) // 4xX

Username:

=========

(IglooFTP PRO Sends 'USER username')

PADDING EBP EIP

331 [1020xA][4xB][4xX] // Totalling 1028 Bytes

(Access violation when executing 0x58585858) // 4xX

Password:

=========

(IglooFTP PRO Sends 'PASS password')

PADDING EBP EIP

331 [1020xA][4xB][4xX] // Totalling 1028 Bytes

(Access violation when executing 0x58585858) // 4xX

Account:

=========

(IglooFTP PRO Sends 'ACCT account')

PADDING EBP EIP

530 [1020xA][4xB][4xX] // Totalling 1028 Bytes

(Access violation when executing 0x58585858) // 4xX

And quite possibly other functions relating to the same buffer...

This would mean that an attacker could set up a malicious server to

send and execute arbitrary code, as I was able to for part of the

vulnerability assessment performed.

I managed to cause my 'shell code' to execute using the following

method:

220 [1020 bytes 'A'][4 bytes EBP][4 bytes EIP to 'Call ESP'*][41 bytes

ShellCode]

* My 'Call ESP' is located in 'rpcrt4.dll' exact version

5.1.2600.1106 at 0x78070690.

Please note that if you choose to tack the 'shell code' on to the

end of the string in this fashion, then you will need to limit

the size of the code to around 76 bytes because after that the

executable exits without notification for some uncertain reason

which I chose not to persue.

I have written and attached a proof of concept code to this email,

using a simple shell code with hard-coded addresses (which you'll

need to change) sent from a small FTP server written in Visual

Basic.

I have contacted the relative vendors, and we have worked together to

provide a fix for this vulnerability.
