TITLE:
NcFTPd Server ".message" Handling Security Bypass

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35986

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35986/

DESCRIPTION:
Kingcope has discovered a security issue in NcFTPd Server, which can
be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to insufficient access restrictions
when displaying the content of ".message" files. This can be
exploited via symlink attacks to read arbitrary files with the
privileges of the logged-in user.

The security issue is confirmed in version 2.8.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
