Title: 32bit FTP 'CWD' Response Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

32bit FTP client is an FTP implementation available for Microsoft Windows.

32bit FTP is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The vulnerability occurs when handling an excessively large 'CWD' response.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.

32bit FTP 09.04.24 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • ElectraSoft 32Bit FTP 09.04.24
