Title: FlashFXP Client Request Hostname Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
FlashFXP is a FTP implementation that allows client-server file transfers in addition to site-to-site file transfers. It is available for Microsoft Windows.
FlashFXP is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability. This is due to insufficient bounds checking of hostnames supplied in client requests.
Exploitation would require a client user to submit a malicious request for an FTP site. This could occur if the FTP user were enticed to follow a malicious link to an FTP site. If such a request were made by the vulnerable client, excessive data embedded in the request could overrung adjacent regions of memory on the client system. This could permit execution of malicious instructions in the context of the user running the client.
Affected Products:
- FlashFXP FlashFXP 2.0.0
- FlashFXP FlashFXP 2.0.0 build 905
