FTP: Multiple Vendor FTP MKD Command Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities against multiple FTP Servers. A successful attack can cause a denial-of-service condition or execute arbitrary code on the victim's server.

Extended Description

CesarFTP is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling data through the MKD command. Reportedly, passing excessive data may overflow a finite-sized internal memory buffer. A successful attack may result in memory corruption as memory adjacent to the buffer is overwritten with user-supplied data. This issue may lead to a denial-of-service condition or to the execution of arbitrary code. CesarFTP 0.99g is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
