TITLE

Windows Mobile 6 Professional  Run on  Microsoft Bluetooth  stack of  OBEX FTP  service,  Pocket PC  and  Pocket PC Phone Edition 5.0  for  Windows Mobile 5.0  directory traversal vulnerability in

DESCRIPTION

Directory traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in the Microsoft Bluetooth stack in Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and probably Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC and 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition, allows remote authenticated users to list arbitrary directories, and create or read arbitrary files, via a .. (dot dot) in a pathname. NOTE: this can be leveraged for code execution by writing to a Startup folder. ( dot dot ) Through strings, arbitrary directories may be enumerated and arbitrary files may be created or viewed. The HTC OBEX FTP service is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability. Exploiting this issue allows an attacker to write arbitrary files to locations outside the application's current directory, download arbitrary files, and obtain sensitive information. Other attacks may also be possible. The issue affects HTC devices running the OBEX FTP service on Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you know that a change in our assessment rating, exploit code availability, or if an updated patch is released by the vendor, is not part of this mailing-list?
