TITLE:
Remote Files Insecure Default Directory Permissions

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37227

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37227/

DESCRIPTION:
Francis Provencher has discovered a security issue in Remote Files
Server Edition and My Remote Files, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the applications setting insecure
default permissions on the installation directory. This can be
exploited to gain escalated privileges by replacing application
binaries.

The security issue is confirmed in Remote Files Server Edition
version 2.4.2 and My Remote Files version 2.4.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Remove unprivileged access from the permissions set on the
installation directories.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Francis Provencher, Protek Research Lab
