Title: 3D-FTP Client Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

3D-FTP is a lightweight FTP client application for Microsoft Windows.

It has been reported that 3D-FTP client may be prone to a buffer overflow condition. This issue is due to the client not implementing sufficient bounds checking on banner data copied into local memory buffers.

When the FTP client receives a FTP banner that contains an excessive amount of data it becomes unstable. It has been reported that this vulnerability can be reproduced by sending an FTP banner of 8192 bytes or more to a vulnerable client. When the client reads in the banner, sensitive regions of memory may be corrupted with attacker-supplied values.

It may be possible for attackers to leverage this vulnerability to execute instructions. Any code executed would be in the security context of the FTP client process.

Affected Products:

  • 3D-FTP 3D-FTP Client 4.0.0
