Title: QPC Software QVT/Term FTP Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

QPC Softare's QVT/Term is a terminal application, which includes an FTP client and server.

A vulnerability exists in QVT's FTP daemon which could cause a denial of services. This is achieved by connecting to port 21 and submitting an unusally long string of arbitrary characters.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the loss of FTP services. A restart of the service may be required in order to gain normal functionality.

This issue may be the result of an unchecked buffer. If this is the case, there is a possibility that arbitrary code may be executed on the vulnerable host. However, this has not yet been confirmed.

Affected Products:

  • QPC Software QVT/Term 5.0.0
