TITLE:
IBM Director Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21802

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21802/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, DoS

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
IBM Director 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/6156/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Director, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and
cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) Input passed to the "file" parameter in Redirect.bat isn't
properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory traversal
attacks.

Example:
http://[host]:411/cgi-bin/Redirect.bat?file=%7C..\..\..\..\..\..\....\..\[file]

2) An unspecified error in the handling of malformed requests for the
WMI CIM server can be exploited to crash a vulnerable service.

3) An unspecified error in the processing of malformed packets can be
exploited to crash the IBM Director server.

4) It is possible to access cookie and authentication data in HTTP
headers via the HTTP TRACE functionality.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.10.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor and Daniel Clemens.
