FTGate <= 4.4.002 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities (OF, FS, XSS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20337

Synopsis

The remote mail server is affected by multiple flaws.

Description

The remote host appears to be running a version of FTGate, a commercial groupware mail server for Windows from FTGate Technology Ltd.

The web server used to administer FTGate on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'href' parameter of the 'index.fts' script before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this flaw to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser, to be evaluated within the security context of the affected application.

In addition, there reportedly is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the web server as well as several format string vulnerabilities in the accompanying IMAP and POP3 services. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these issues to execute code on the affected host.

Solution

Upgrade to FTGate version 4.4.004 or later as it reportedly fixes these issues.
