Core FTP Filename Processing Boundary Error FTP List Command Response Parsing Remote Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 59243

Language:

Synopsis

An FTP client on the remote host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of Core FTP installed on the remote host is less than 2.2 build 1745. It thus is reportedly affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered when it receives a specially crafted FTP LIST command response.

By tricking a user into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the affected host, subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Core FTP 2.2 build 1745 or later.
