TITLE:
Rumpus Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23842

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23842/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation, DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Rumpus 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/11982/

DESCRIPTION:
LMH and KF have reported some vulnerabilities in Rumpus, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges and
potentially by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The application invokes "ipfw" without an absolute path and has
the setuid bit set. This can be exploited to gain "root" privileges
by placing a specially crafted "ipfw" binary in the path.

2) Boundary errors within the FTP service can be exploited to cause
heap-based buffer overflows and can potentially be exploited to
execute arbitrary code via specially crafted packets.

Successful exploitation requires a valid user account.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 5.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
LMH and KF
