SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1009426
CVE Reference:   GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Mar 15 2004
Impact:   User access via network
Exploit Included:  Yes  
Version(s): 8
Description:   Rafel Ivgi (The-Insider) reported some vulnerabilities in the VocalTec Telephony Gateway. A remote user can bypass the authentication process to access ostensibly protected files on the system.

It is reported that a remote user can request the 'home.asp' file with a trailing slash to bypass Basic Authorization. A demonstration exploit URL is provided:

http://<host>/home.asp/

Then, the remote user can supply specially crafted requests to traverse the directory and access files that would otherwise require Basic Authorization. A demonstration exploit URL is provided:

http://<host>/home.asp/../menu.asp

Impact:   A remote user can bypass authentication to access protected files on the system.
Solution:   No solution was available at the time of this entry.
Vendor URL:  www.vocaltec.com/html/telephony/gateway_4_8.shtml (Links to External Site)

1) Introduction
===============

It provides high voice quality and optimized packet voice streaming over
managed and public
(Internet) IP networks. Utilizing a robust, outdoor embedded platform,
VGW4/8 ensures enhanced
reliability and high performance.

VGW4/8 enables users to make local, long distance and international
telephone/fax calls using
existing telephony devices. Calls originating or terminating at a VGW4/8 may
be routed through
a carrier providing a VoIP Virtual Private Network service or over existing
corporate IP data networks.

2) Bug
======


Upon connecting to the server a "Basic Authorization" login is required.
If it failes there is information disclosure :

-------------------------------------------------------------
Access Error: Unauthorized
when trying to obtain /home.asp

Access to this document requires a User ID
-------------------------------------------------------------

Accessing the given file name again requests a "Basic Authorization" login.
By reffering to the file as a folder the authorization is bypassed.
For Example:
http://<host>/home.asp/

Now after we have bypassed the authorization we can use Reverse Directory
Transversal to
access any "Basic Authorization" protected file.
For Example:
http://<host>/home.asp/../menu.asp

http://<host>/home.asp/
