Inframail FTP Server NLST Command Remote Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 18587

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FTP server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack.

Description

The remote host is running the FTP server component of Inframail, a commercial suite of network servers from Infradig Systems.

According to its banner, the installed version of Inframail suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability that arises when the FTP server component processes an NLST command with an excessively long argument (around 102400 bytes). Successful exploitation will cause the service to crash and may allow arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Inframail 7.12 or later.
