TITLE:
Internet Explorer FTP Command Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29346

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29346/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/11/
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01
http://secunia.com/product/9/

DESCRIPTION:
Derek Abdine has discovered a vulnerability in Internet Explorer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct FTP command
injection attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
processing FTP URIs. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary FTP
commands in a FTP session using e.g. a specially crafted FTP URI
containing CRLF character sequences and trailing slashes.

Successful exploitation requires that a user e.g. is tricked into
visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.0.2900.2180 and also
reported in version 5. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to Internet Explorer 7. Do not browse untrusted websites.
