Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14371 |
Category: | FTP |
Title: | wu-ftpd < 2.6.3 'MAIL_ADMIN' Overflow Vulnerability |
Summary: | The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be; vulnerable to a remote flaw. |
Description: | Summary: The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be vulnerable to a remote flaw. Vulnerability Insight: This version fails to properly check bounds on a pathname when Wu-Ftpd is compiled with MAIL_ADMIN enabled resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can possibly execute arbitrary code as the user Wu-Ftpd runs as (usually root) resulting in a loss of integrity, and/or availability. It should be noted that this vulnerability is not present within the default installation of Wu-Ftpd. The server must be configured using the 'MAIL_ADMIN' option to notify an administrator when a file has been uploaded. Solution: Update to version 2.6.3 or later. CVSS Score: 9.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
