DESCRIPTION:
P@r@n01d and $um$id have discovered a vulnerability in FileCopa FTP
Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to access files in
arbitrary locations on a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error within
the processing of arguments passed via the "STOR" and "RETR" FTP
commands. This can be exploited to read and write files in arbitrary
locations outside the FTP root.
Successful exploitation may allow compromise of a vulnerable system
e.g. by overwriting or creating files in the startup directories.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.01 released
2005-11-21.
