Title: httpdx 'USER' Command Remote Format String Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
The 'httpdx' program is an HTTP/FTP server for Microsoft Windows.
The application is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function. Specifically, the issue occurs when the FTP server processes the 'USER' command.
An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
The issue affects httpdx 1.5.2; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- httpdx httpdx 1.5.2
