Topic: FTP Bounce
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


In some implementations of FTP daemons, the PORT command can be misused to
open a connection to a port of the attacker's choosing on a machine that the
attacker could not have accessed directly. There have been ongoing discussions
about this problem (called "FTP bounce") for several years, and some vendors
have developed solutions for this problem.

The CERT/CC staff urges you to install a comprehensive patch if one is
available. Until then, we recommend the wu-ftpd package identified in Section
III.B. as a workaround.

We will update this advisory as we receive additional information. Please
check our advisory files regularly for updates that relate to your site.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.   Description

     In the past few years there have been ongoing discussions about a
     problem known as "FTP bounce." In its simplest terms, the problem is
     based on the misuse of the PORT command in the FTP protocol.

     To understand the FTP bounce attack, please see the tech tip at

        ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/FTP_PORT_attacks

     The core component of the problem is that by using the PORT command in
     active FTP mode, an attacker may be able to establish connections to
     arbitrary ports on machines other than the originating client. This
     behavior is RFC compliant, but it is also potentially a source of
     security problems for some sites. The example attacks described in the
     tech tip demonstrate the potential of this vulnerability.

II.  Impact

     An attacker may be able to establish a connection between the FTP server
     machine and an arbitrary port on another system. This connection may be
     used to bypass access controls that would otherwise apply.

III. Solution

     Because the core element of the attack (the FTP server can establish
     connections to arbitrary machines and arbitrary ports) is also a required
     component for RFC compliance, there is no clear-cut solution. With this
     in mind, we urge you to carefully consider the type of service that your
     site offers.

     The best solution solely from a security perspective is to ensure that
     your FTP server software cannot establish connections to arbitrary
     machines. However, sites that rely on the RFC-compliant behavior may
     find that implementing this solution will affect applications that they
     use. (We have not received any first-hand reports of such cases.)
     Consequently, many vendors offer solutions that allow sites offering the
     FTP service to make the choice that best suits them. You should check to
     see what type of behavior your vendor's FTP daemon adopts (Section A).

     If you wish to implement an FTP service that does not allow this attack
     and your vendor does not offer a daemon with this functionality, consider
     using the wu-ftpd package described in Section B. Other steps you can
     take are described in Section C.

     A.  Vendor Information

         It is our experience that vendor implementations fall into one of
         these groups:

         (1) strict conformance with RFC functionality: The PORT command
             may be used to connect directly to a third-party machine, and
             this is the only functionality allowed. Some vendors who
             choose to maintain strict conformance have addressed this
             problem by modifying all other network services to reject
             connections originating from the FTP data port (port 20).

         (2) strict suppression of the PORT command: The PORT command may
             be used to connect to the originating client, and this is the
             only functionality allowed.

         (3) variable PORT command behavior: The PORT command may be used
             in either of the above two ways, with one way being the
             default. Switching between them is usually achieved with a
             command line parameter. You should be careful to verify which
             is the default.

         Appendix A contains a list of vendors who have provided
         information about this problem. We will update the appendix as we
         receive more information. If you do not see your vendor's name,
         the CERT/CC did not hear from that vendor. Please contact your
         vendor directly.


     B.  Use the wu-ftpd package as a workaround.

         The wu-ftpd package addresses the FTP bounce problem by ensuring that
         the PORT command cannot be used to establish connections to machines
         other than the originating client. Please read the wu-ftpd README
         file "FIXES-2.4-HOBBIT" before installing the package.

         The latest version of wu-ftpd, which we recommend, is available from

           ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-
15.tar.Z

         DFN-CERT mirrors this software at

           ftp://ftp.cert.dfn.de/pub/tools/net/wuarchive-ftpd/academ-betas/wu-
ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15.tar.Z

         MD5 (wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-15.tar.Z) = 6c8172b83ab2545a5b91a9aba4840630

         If you use a previous version (whether a beta version or full
         release), do not assume that your site is immune from these problems
         or other problems discussed in previous advisories.

     C.  FTP Configuration

         Some attacks rely on an intermediate file being uploaded to one or
         more server machines via (usually anonymous) FTP. This file is
         used in a later phase of the attack.

         Your site should offer anonymous upload facilities only if it is
         absolutely necessary. Even then, you must carefully configure the
         incoming area. For further details, see "Anonymous FTP Configuration
         Guidelines" at

           ftp://ftp.cert.org/pub/tech_tips/anonymous_ftp_config

         Note that these steps only repel attacks that rely on intermediate
         uploads. The steps are not effective against other attacks.

         If your site allows file uploads, we urge your to ensure that the
         FTP service restricts the PORT command so that it can only be used
         to connect to the originating client.

IBM Corporation
- - ---------------

   All AIX ftp servers are vulnerable to the FTP bounce attack. The
   following fixes are in progress:

     AIX 3.2:  upgrade to v4
     AIX 4.1:  IX73075
     AIX 4.2:  IX73076
     AIX 4.3:  IX73077

   To Order
   --------
    APARs may be ordered using Electronic Fix Distribution (via FixDist)
    or from the IBM Support Center. For more information on FixDist,
    reference URL:

       http://service.software.ibm.com/aixsupport/

    or send e-mail to aixserv@austin.ibm.com with a subject of "FixDist".


MadGoat
- - -------

   This problem is fixed in MGFTP V2.2-2, which was released several months
   ago. That version restricts the port numbers to ports above 1024.
   However, it does not block access to third-party machines. V2.2-4,
   scheduled for release next week, will do that as well.


Microsoft Corporation
- - ---------------------

   We prevent this attack by disallowing "third party" transfers. This is
   done via a modification to our implementation of the PORT command. When
   the FTP server receives a PORT command, the specified IP address *must*
   match the client's source IP address for the control channel.

   In other words, then the client sends a PORT command to the FTP server,
   giving the server an IP address & port number to connect back to the
   client for the data transfer, the IP address *must* be the client's
   original IP address.

   We have one other fix in which we disallow the PORT command from
   specifying reserved ports (those less than 1024) except port 20 (the
   default data port). By default, any client attempt to issue a port
   command with (port < 1024 && port != 20) will cause the PORT command to
   fail. This check can be disabled setting the EnablePortAttack registry
   value.


NEC Corporation
- - ---------------

   Several NEC Unix systems have proven vulnerable.  Work is currently
   underway to identify all affected systems.  Patches are forthcoming.


NCR Corporation
- - ---------------

   NCR is delivering a set of operating system dependent patches which
   contain an update for this problem. Accompanying each patch is a
   README file which discusses the general purpose of the patch and
   describes how to apply it to your system.

   Recommended solution: Apply one of the following patches depending on
   the revision of the inet package installed on your system. To check its
   version execute:

        pkginfo -x inet

   For inet 5.01.xx.xx: - PINET501 (Version later than 05.01.01.62)
   For inet 6.01.xx.xx: - PINET601 (Version later than 06.01.00.22)
   For inet 6.02.xx.xx: - PINET602 (Version later than 06.02.00.03)

   After installation of the respective patch, the default behavior will be
   to protect from this vulnerability.. A new ftpd man-page describe how to
   enable the old RFC compliant behavior.


The NetBSD Project
- - ------------------

   There are no patches for NetBSD 1.2.1 or prior, however the ftpd
   sources available from:
           ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/libexec/ftpd
   should work on a NetBSD 1.2.1 machine.


The OpenBSD project
- - -------------------

   FTP bounce can be fixed in the operating system by fixing all vulnerable
   services by checking for connections from port 20. Since this has been
   done in OpenBSD, OpenBSD is not vulnerable and does NOT NEED the
   variable port command. The solution applies since OpenBSD 2.1 (ie. it
   applies for both 2.1 and for 2.2).


Red Hat Software
- - ----------------

   We ship wu-ftpd, so this isn't a problem for us.


The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.
- - ------------------------------

   SCO has determined that the following Operating systems are vulnerable
   to the ftp-bounce attack :-

           OpenServer 5.0.4
           UnixWare   2.1
           ODT        3.0
           CMW+

   We are currently working on a fix to this problem.


Siemens-Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG
- - --------------------------------------

   ReliantUNIX is vulnerable.
   The problem has been corrected in the current sources.
   Patches will be developed (as necessary) and made available via your
   Siemens-Nixdorf customers service.


Sun Microsystems, Inc.
- - ----------------------

   Sun's FTP server software in SunOS 4.1.x and 5.x allow PORT requests
   to make data connections to arbitrary hosts. Prior to SunOS 5.6, Sun's
   FTP server software also allows data connections to arbitrary ports.

   In SunOS 5.6, the FTP server software does not accept PORT requests to make
   data connections to well-known (privileged) ports. Sun has also released
   the following patches that prevent Sun's FTP server software from accepting
   PORT requests to make data connections to well-known ports for the
   following SunOS releases:

        103603-05 SunOS 5.5.1
        103604-05 SunOS 5.5.1_x86
        103577-06 SunOS 5.5
        103578-06 SunOS 5.5_x86
        101945-51 SunOS 5.4
        101946-45 SunOS 5.4_x86
