Introduction:
=============
Lan.FS is a very quick, small and compact freeware networktool (for 
non-commercial use only) for 
Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista & Windows 7. It is easy to handle for beginners and 
provides various 
functions for experts, too. Some features are:

    Messenger with animated emoticons
    Filetransfer service with statusdisplay
    Remote Desktop functions to telecommand other computers in your network
    Remote Shell function for access to the systemprompt of other computers in 
your network.
    Access to the whole filesystem of other computers
    Windows commands (reboot, shutdown, user switch, run) on other computers

These functions are provided in your Local Area Network. Innovative aspects 
concerning networkprograms are:

    Lan.FS is ready for operation directly after finishing installation.
    You do not need specialised knowledge about networks and 
networkadministration
    Lan.FS does not feature needless functions: You decide what to do.
    Lan.FS works Windows-Workinggroups independent
    Lan.FS works in WLAN networks (even if they are not absolutely stable)
    Lan.FS provides a substantial support and trouble shooting
    Lan.FS is Vista capable

Severity:
=========
Critical


Details:
========
A command execution vulnerability is detected in the official LAN.FS v2.4 
Messenger Software. The vulnerability allows an remote attacker 
without user inter action to execute own system specific codes to compromise 
the connected client system in the lan. The command execution 
vulnerability is located in the Netzwerkeinstellungen - Administration 
(Computer editieren, add & co.) > Computersettings (Computereinstellungen) 
module with the bound vulnerability Computername software input field. Remote 
attackers can change the own computername to execute malicious system 
commands or script code attacks against the connected client via Messenger 
Service (Nachrichtendienst). The windows path system commands/request or 
the malicious injected script code will be directly executed out of the 
Nachrichtendienst web context. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability 
results in system compromise via command injection/execution, persistent script 
code injections, persistent software context manipulation, external 
malware loads or malicious external redirects. Exploitation of the 
vulnerability requires a connected conversation but no direct user inter 
action. 
The commands or script code will be executed when the message is processing to 
arrive.

Manually reproduce ... 
1. Install the Software LAN.FS 2.4.x and start LAN.FS 2.4.x
2. First we go to Systemsettings in our windows7 system and change our 
computername/hostname to malicious system path command or malicious script 
code. Save!
3. Change the hostname in Netzwerkeinstellungen> Administration> 
Computersettings to the own values with the system path command or script code 
(<2.). Save!
4. Update Settings & connect the Nachrichtendient to your target system
5. Send a random message to the victim via lan.fs messenger
6. The vulnerable hostname in the message header can execute local file 
requests, execute files and path commands or execute persistent malicious 
script codes
7. The command or script code will be executed when the messager is processing 
to display the arrived message of the attacker. No user inter action required!


Solution:
=========
The vulnerability can be patched by parsing the hostname (computername) input 
field. 
To parse also the hostname web context in the messenger software listing.


Risk:
=====
The security risk of the remote command execution vulnerability is estimated as 
high(+).
