It is reported that various ZIP related plugins supplied with the server contain multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities. These issues may allow remote attackers to determine the existence of files on a computer and also disclose arbitrary files. The issues arise due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. By determining the presence of files in restricted directories and outside the server's root in addition to disclosing the contents of arbitrary files, the attacker can launch various attacks against a vulnerable computer. If an attack results in the disclosure of a password file, these issues may ultimately lead to unauthorized access to the affected computer in the context of the server. The affected plugins are shipped with the FTP server by default. glFTPD 1.26 to 2.00 are reported vulnerable.
