Language:

Synopsis

The remote FTP server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the installed version of Serv-U is earlier than 9.4.0.0, and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following issues :

 - When importing users, restricted administrators could create user accounts outside their home directory.

 - When exporting users, restricted administrators could see a user's full path for home directory, virtual paths, and directory access rules.

 - A restricted domain administrator could create a user or group that was not locked in the user's home directory.

 - A denial of service issue when handling a large number of concurrent HTTP requests.

Solution

Upgrade to Serv-U version 9.4.0.0 or later.
