  FastStone 4in1 Browser Directory Traversal
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

" <http://www.faststone.org/> FastStone 4in1 Browser is a FREE 
multi-window Web Browser  with a built-in Web Server, a fully functional 
FTP Client and a drag & drop Image Viewer"

FastStone 4in1 Browser does not properly sanitize the directory reference 
found inside URLs, this allows an attacker that is able to lure a user to 
enter to his web site to read files that reside on the user's computer.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * FastStone 4in1 Browser version 1.2

Immune Systems:
 * FastStone 4in1 Browser version 1.3

The program by default has some checks to avoid malicious patterns like 
"/../" found in HTTP requests, but it doesn't filter out patterns like: 
"\..\", "../" or "/.../".

By utilizing the directory traversal vulnerability an attacker that can 
lue a user to access his web site is able to see and download all the 
files on the user's system.

Examples:
http://[host]/.../.../.../.../.../.../windows/system.ini
http://[host]/..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\windows/system.ini
