Vulnerability Note VU#632633

Original Release Date: 2009-11-19 | Last Revised: 2009-11-19

Overview

Wyse Simple Imager (WSI) includes older versions version of TFTPD32 that contains publicly known vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to potentially execute arbitrary code on the system running WSI and TFTPD32.

Description

Wyse Simple Imager (WSI) is a component of Wyse Device Manager (WDM, formerly known as Wyse Rapport). WSI includes TFTPD32 as the TFTP service to load firmware images on client devices. The versions of TFTPD32 contains several known vulnerabilities. The following list of TFTPD32 vulnerabilities is based on public information:

    1. CVE-2002-2226 Buffer overflow in tftpd of TFTP32 2.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename argument.
    2. CVE-2002-2237 tftp32 TFTP server 2.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a GET request with a DOS device name such as com1 or aux.
    3. CVE-2002-2353 tftpd32 2.50 and 2.50.2 allows remote attackers to read or write arbitrary files via a full pathname in GET and PUT requests.
    4. CVE-2006-0328 Format string vulnerability in Tftpd32 2.81 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via format string specifiers in a filename in a (1) GET or (2) SEND request.
    5. CVE-2006-6141 Buffer overflow in Tftpd32 3.01 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long GET or PUT request, which is not properly handled when the request is displayed in the title of the gauge window.
    6. OSVDB ID: 12898 Tftpd32 contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the server receives a TFTP request with a long filename, and will result in loss of availability for the service.

    Impact

    An attacker with network access to TFTPD32 could execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable system.
