DESCRIPTION:
HD Moore has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Accellion File
Transfer Appliance, which can be exploited by malicious, local users
to disclose sensitive information and gain escalated privileges and
by malicious users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

1) An error in the Message Routing daemon due to use of static
encryption keys can be exploited to perform administrative tasks on
the appliance via encrypted messages sent to port 8812/UDP.

2) An input sanitation error in the "insert_plugin_meta_info()"
function of the MatchRep daemon can be exploited to inject and
execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted message sent
to port 8812/UDP.

3) An error when handling Secure Shell (SSH) logins for the default
administrative account (admin) can be exploited to login remotely by
executing a shell without a TTY terminal.

4) An error due to the appliance using static passwords for several
administrative accounts can be exploited to login via SSH using a
brute-force attack.

5) An error due to the appliance using static SSH keys to allow
password-less login for the administrative user (soggycat) can be
exploited to login via SSH.

6) An error due to an insecure configuration of a MySQL root account
in various configuration files can be exploited by local users to
disclose the password.

7) An error due to the rsync daemon allowing read-write access to the
administrative user's (soggycat) home directory can be exploited by
local users to gain administrative privileges.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 8_0_562.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly fixed in version 8_0_562. Contact the vendor for further
information.
