I. BACKGROUND
Trend Micro Inc.'s ServerProtect provides antivirus scanning with
centralized management of virus outbreaks, scanning, patter file
updates, notifications and remote installations. More information about
the product set is available at:
www.trendmicro.com/en/products/file-server/sp/evaluate/overview.htm
II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in Trend Micro
Inc.'s ServerProtect Management Console allows remote attackers to view
the contents of arbitrary files on the underlying system.
The problem specifically exists within the handling of the IMAGE
parameter in the script rptserver.asp. The vulnerable area of code is
outlined in the following snippet:
Set session("oEMF") = Server.CreateObject("CREmfgen.CREmfgen.2")
Call ParseQS()
if IMAGE <> "" then
Call session("oEMF").StreamImage(IMAGE, DEL)
Response.End
end if
An attacker can utilize directory traversal modifiers to traverse
outside the system temporary directory and access any file on the same
volume.
III. ANALYSIS
Successful exploitation of the described vulnerability allows remote
attackers to view the contents of arbitrary files on the underlying
system. Exploitation does not require credentials thereby exacerbating
the impact of this vulnerability.
