Title: MollenSoft Lightweight FTP Server Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
MollenSoft Lightweight FTP Server is a server that supports basic FTP functionality and more. It is available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
A denial of service condition is reported to exist in the MollenSoft Lightweight FTP Server that may allow a remote user to deny service to legitimate FTP users. The vulnerability is due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on CWD command arguments.
The denial of service occurs when the server receives a CWD command of 224 bytes or more in length from an authenticated client. Memory corruption occurs and results in a read operation from an arbitrary location. If this location is out of bounds, the server will crash on the read() operation, effectively denying service to legitimate users.
It should be noted that although this vulnerability is reported to affect Mollensoft Lightweight FTP Server version 3.6 other versions might also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Mollensoft Software Lightweight FTP Server 3.6.0
