[ Hackerslab bug_paper ] ntop web mode vulnerabliity
================================================================================
Command : /sbin/ntop -w <port>
SYSTEM : N/A
INFO :
ntop - display top network users
-w
Starts ntop
in web mode. Users can attach their web
browsers to the specified port and browse traffic infor
mation remotely. Supposing to start ntop
at the port 3000
(ntop -w 3000), the URL to access is http://host;
name:3000/. The file ~/.ntop specifies the HTTP
user/password of those people who are allowed to access
ntop. If the ~/.ntop file is missing no security will be
used hence everyone can access traffic information. A
simple .ntop file is the following: # # .ntop File format
# # user<tab>/<space>pw # # luca linux Please note
that an HTTP server is NOT needed in order to use the
program in interactive mode.* 'bdf' program has SUID permission.
If use 'ntop' in web mode, it's web root is "/etc/ntop/html".
It's web mode is not check URL path.
So if URL is "http://URL:port/../../shadow";, remote user will read all file.
"everyone can access traffic information" !!!
If ntop use for public, anyone read all files.
