COMMAND
Filo
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
i-drive Filo (tm) software
PROBLEM
Following is based on Internet Security Systems Security Advisory.
Internet Security Systems (ISS) X-Force has discovered a
vulnerability in the i-drive Filo software. i-drive.com provides
web storage services for over 1.5 million users. The
browser-based tool, Filo, allows users to clip and save any web
page to their i-drive account. Filo is designed for saving
important pages found on the web such as investment research,
travel confirmations, and e-commerce receipts.
Filo file version 1.0.0.1 for Windows NT (SP5) is affected.
When the Filo software is installed, the setup program also
installs an HTTP proxy server. An attacker can send the proxy
server an overly long HTTP GET request, overflowing a heap buffer
in the Filo server software. This vulnerability allows an
attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
SOLUTION
i-drive recommends upgrading to Filo 1.5.3. This version is
available for download at:
